CAYAMBE
The Cayambe volcano, an imposing stratovolcano that rises majestically to an altitude of around 5,790 m.a.s.l. Its summit is crowned by perpetual snow and several glaciers, being a symbol of the natural beauty of the Andes and the third highest peak in the country. It is a popular destination for mountaineers and mountain lovers, offering several ascent routes, the Normal Route from the Ruales-Oleas-Berge refuge being the most common. Although considered active, Cayambe has not had significant eruptions in recent times, but its activity continues to be closely monitored. Its presence in the Ecuadorian landscape is a testament to the grandeur of nature and its impact on the region.
