LiDAR and elevation data for Ecuador

Partial open LiDAR Openly licensed LiDAR exists, but only for limited areas such as states, provinces, cities or project sites.

The SIGTIERRAS programme produced a photogrammetric terrain model at 3 m (Sierra), 4 m (Costa) and 5 m (Amazonía) covering about 88 per cent of Ecuador under CC BY-SA; only a 10 m resample is downloadable online and the full-resolution model is supplied at the ministry’s offices. No national lidar was found.
