    The objective of this research is to characterize the vegetation cover and meteorological conditions through a multispectral analysis of the Chimborazo Wildlife Production Reserve. The methodology used for this research is the one proposed by Chuvieco, which began with the definition of objectives, bibliographic review of the reserve鈥檚 canopy, download of the most appropriate satellite image (without cloud cover), definition of canopy categories, image correction, calculation of spectral indices, supervised classification, adjustments, map generation using GIS tools, and interpretation of the results. Additionally, a National Solar Radiation Database web platform was used to download meteorological data for the year 2020, which were used to characterize the study area; the results were compared with the data acquired in 2017 with a station installed in the reserve. In the end, it was determined that multispectral analysis allows generating data close to a field work study. For the faunal reserve, the following area of established covers were obtained: shrub vegetation 55.8 km2, snow 47.9 km2, eroded zone 125 km2, moor 190 km2, pasture 76 km2 and crops 30.56 km2. Average temperature 5鈭楥, relative humidity 95.8% and water precipitation 1.37. Keywords: Remote sensing, vegetation cover characterization, Chimborazo Wildlife Reserve, meteorological data, multispectral analysis, Vegetation Index. Resumen La presente investigaci贸n tiene como objetivo realizar una caracterizaci贸n de las cubiertas vegetales y condiciones meteorol贸gicas a trav茅s de un an谩lisis multitespectral de la Reserva de Producci贸n Faun铆stica Chimborazo. La metodolog铆a que se utiliz贸 para esta investigaci贸n es la propuesta por Chuvieco donde se empez贸 con la definici贸n de objetivos, revisi贸n bibliogr谩fica de las cubiertas de la reserva, descarga de la imagen satelital m谩s adecuada (sin nubosidad), definici贸n de categor铆as de cubiertas, correcci贸n de im谩genes, c谩lculo de 铆ndices espectrales, clasificaci贸n supervisada, ajustes, generaci贸n de mapas mediante herramientas SIG e interpretaci贸n de los resultados. Adicionalmente se utiliz贸 una plataforma web National Solar Radiation Database para la descarga de datos meteorol贸gicos del a帽o 2020 que sirvieron para realizar la caracterizaci贸n de la zona de estudio, los resultados fueron comparados con los datos adquiridos del a帽o 2017 con una estaci贸n instalada en la reserva. Al final se determin贸 que el an谩lisis multiespectral permite generar datos cercanos a un estudio de trabajo en campo. Para la reserva faun铆stica se obtuvo las siguientes 谩rea de las cubiertas establecidas: vegetaci贸n arbustiva 55.8 km2, nieve 47.9 km2, zona erosionada 125 km2, p谩ramo 190 km2, pastos 76 km2 y cultivos 30.56 km2. La temperatura media 5鈭楥, humedad relativa 95.8 % y precipitaci贸n de agua 1.37.
