COTOPAXI NATIONAL PARK<\/p>

The Cotopaxi volcano, an almost perfect snow cone that stands at 5,897 meters of altitude is something unique on the planet and is perhaps, along with Gal\u00e1pagos, the greatest symbol of our natural geography recognized throughout the world.<\/p>

Thousands of mountaineers of all nationalities have achieved their summit and many others dream of doing it. Because it is located in the center of the Inter-Andean alley and very close to several cities such as Quito and Latacunga, the Cotopaxi National Park is one of the most visited and surely where many people touch snow for the first time.<\/p>

The imposing Cotopaxi, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world, dominates the whole landscape of the protected area, which also includes two smaller ones, Morurco (4,880 m), close to Cotopaxi, and Rumi\u00f1ahui (4,722 m), as well very closely.<\/p>

The Cotopaxi is located in the area called \u201cAvenue of the Volcanoes\u201d, name that the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt in 1802 gave to the set of volcanoes of the central and northern Sierra of Ecuador. The predominant ecosystem in the park is the p\u00e1ramo, with its special flora and fauna, so the main vegetation is pajonal and small shrubs of height.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

BA\u00d1OS DE AGUA SANTA<\/h5>

Ba\u00f1os de Agua Santa is a small town that rises between the central Andes and the Amazon of Ecuador, eight kilometers from the crater of the Tungurahua volcano. Ba\u00f1os according to historical data, had no founder or any foundation date. When the Spaniards first came to this site, they called it IPO in the Puruh\u00e1 language, which is why it is considered to have originated in the Puruh\u00e1es villages.<\/p>

Visit the Pail\u00f3n del Diablo (The Devil\u2019s Cauldron)<\/h5><\/p>

Ba\u00f1os has countless waterfalls, and the most renowned is the Pail\u00f3n del Diablo or the Devil\u2019s Couldron. Though it\u2019s real name is the Green River Waterfall the most popular name by which people call it is the Devil\u2019s Cauldron. This is one of the highest waterfalls in the country at 80 meters (262 ft) high and a depth of 20 meters (66 ft).<\/p>

Enjoy the balconies (from where you can admire the waterfall), the suspension bridge and Heaven\u2019s Crack (a naturally formed crack that brings you to the back of the devil\u2019s cauldron waterfall), these are must see attractions that make Ba\u00f1os de Agua Santa a place to visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
