Tungurahua volcano and Baños
Since 1999 watching Tungurahua volcano results a fascinating experience, because in November that year, Tungurahua woke up and proved once again, what all the old legends and historic facts tells us about its powerful explosions. Since there, the volcano is still smoking several times a day.
Tungurahua, it is located about 180 km south of Quito, and few km away from Baños city it is the responsible of the hot springs in Baños and the diverse landscape around.
It first climbing was made in 1873 by Wilhelm Reiss and Stübel. And for obviously reasons, it is forbidden to climb, however watching this volcano and enjoying the area is a fantastic soft experience that you should do in Ecuador.
