Equador
Equator has the highest population of volcanoes, but very few of them are active. The Cordillera Real was my first stop. It is the central range and is a draw because it's mountains are taller than those of the western range.

Then I traveled east, through the jungles, to Reventador, shown to the left. It was created by volcanic eruptions and stands 3485 meters tall. |
|
Then I hopped over to Mount Chimborazo, left. It's massive in size, reaching 20,703 feet and it's summit to the center of the earth is longer than that of Mount Everest's. |
|
Back to the central range, I visited Sangay, left. Sangay is claimed to be the most active volcano in the world. Located just below the equator, Sangay stands 17,160 feet tall. |
|
My last stop was Pichincha, left. Pichincha, along with Cotocachi, is one of the
grandest volcanoes in the western range.
