Resumen

The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) is an international collaboration focused on the study of the phenomenology of Cosmic Rays (CR) in different energy ranges. Data is retrieved using Water Cherenkov Detectors(WCD) and by the execution of several simulations. Ecuador has been working in the LAGO project for almost 3 years, during this period three detectors had been installed in different universities of the country: one in Riobamba, ESPOCH (2784 m.a.s.l) and two in the city of Quito, USFQ (2430 m.a.s.l) and EPN (2830 m.a.s.l). A complete set of simulations have been performed within the LAGO simulation framework, based on a combination of Magnetocosmics, CORSIKA and GEANT4 codes. In this work, the detector characterization, calibration and the first Ecuadorian data is presented.
