    The research project was developed with the objective to investigate the quality and visual fragility of the landscape units at Fanthsa Rumi moorlands at Cumbijín Community belonging to Salcedo canton Cotopaxi province. A methodology focused on the characterization and evaluation of the landscape units was applied taking as a reference the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Visual Absorption Capacity Method (CAV), therefore, the visual sensitivity and fragility, presenting a qualitative assessment with numerical weightings that allowed to establish the current situation of the study area. Taking into account several characteristics of the components such as: texture, color, relief, erodibility, slope, vegetation, scenic context, line and spatial configuration. Through field visits, a direct connection with the study area is established, helping this way to determine the anthropogenic activities that cause a negative impact in order to determine the moorlands current visual quality. For this purpose, a field trip was carried out where photographic evidence was recorded and surveys were conducted with the inhabitants of the study area. Through the obtained results it was established that Fanthsa Rumi moorlands has an average of 17 (BLM) with a landscape of medium quality and that the variety in shape, color, line, texture is common within the region, an average CAV of 14 which is in Class I with a very fragile landscape with a medium capacity, they are areas of high slope and hardly regenerable to adapt to modifications that can be generated by human beings. It is concluded in the creation of a conservation proposal presenting activities on the importance of environmental education, care and landscape management that should be taken in the moorland’s ecosystem taking into account its regeneration and restoration.
