The Many-striped Canastero is distributed in the Andes from Colombia to central Peru. There is a distribution map at NatureServe. It is found at or above the tree-line in Páramo grassland normally at altitudes between 3,000 and 4,500 metres.

It is a heavily striped Canastero with a lot of rufous-chestnut on the wing feathers and a pale supercilium.
