The time series content information about the dynamic behavior of the system under study. This behavior could be complex, irregular and no lineal. For this reason, it is necessary to study new models that can solve this dynamic more satisfactorily. In this work a visual analysis of recurrence from time series of the coordinate’s variation ENU (East, North, Up) will be made. This analysis was obtained from nine continuous monitoring stations GPS (Global Navigation Satellite System); the intention is to study their behavior, they belong to the Equatorian GPS Network that materializes the reference system SIRGAS – ECUADOR. The presence of noise in the observations was reduced using digital low pass filters with Finite Impulse Response (FIR). For these series, the time delay was determined using the average mutual information, and for the minimum embedding dimension the False Nearest Neighbours (FNN) method was used; the purpose is to obtain the recurrent maps of each coordinates. The results of visual analysis show a strong tendency, especially in the East and North coordinates, while the Up coordinates indicate discontinued, symmetric and periodic behavior.
