The view from here is stunning and really breathtaking. The landscape of the mountain is also wonderful. Ecuador is a volcanic country with more than 85, but if you don't have time to visit some of them, this is a good choice to go up and touch the sky.

This Neo-Classical building is the best representative of this architectural style in town. The white façade contrasts with the golden muses of the Fine Arts located in the frontispiece. In the shell there is the portrait of Marietta de Veintimilla, the woman who dreamt it in 1877.

A huge valley formed after the last eruption around 2.200 years ago! There is a community of farmers living inside the crater which is dormant. At noon you can see how the clouds come up from the bottom of the cloud forest and cover all the setting. There is a viewpoint, a market and some trails for biking, hiking or horse riding!
