History

[edit]

Baeza was founded on 14 May 1559 on the territory of the Quijos-Quichua people by the explorer Gil Ramírez Dávalos. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the town was one of the most important settlements in the Ecuadorian Amazon, but since the 19th century it has diminished in importance. Despite this, it remains one of the most important administrative, economic, financial and commercial centres of the Quijos Valley. The main economic activities of the city are livestock, agriculture and commerce.

Climate

[edit]

Baeza has a subtropical highland climate (Cfb) with mild weather year-round and heavy rainfall.
