Gonzanamá is a small town and also part of one of the 16 cantons (Gonzanamá) in Loja Province, Ecuador.
== History == The name of the city was created by two different native languages of Ecuador: Spanish and Quechua. The name of the cacique from the tribe of the anamaés is Gonza and the name of the coveted territory, which means favorite to the god of the water, is Anama or Munamá. Another meaning of the name is break of hills, because the city is located on the Andes Mountains.
