Abstract: This research examines the volcanic eruptions that occurred in Ecuador in the 18th century. It also analyses the socioeconomic impacts they caused, the emergency policies and the disaster management in the different institutions of the Bourbon administration. In this way, the eruptive cycles of the Cotopaxi volcano in 1742-1744 and 1766-1768, as well as the Tungurahua volcano in 1773-1781, are analysed. The primary documentary sources used in this paper come from different historical archives (Archivo General de Indias, Archivo General de la Nación de Colombia, Archivo Nacional del Ecuador y Archivo Histórico Nacional de España), as well as data and transcriptions of documents collected by different authors and contemporary to the eruptions. | Esta investigação examina as erupções vulcânicas que ocorreram no Equador no século XVIII.
