What is the highest mountain in Ecuador?
Chimborazo
Under clear conditions, the summit of Chimborazo can be seen from the coastal city Guayaquil, nearly 140km away. The nearest cities are Riobamba (~30km to the southeast), Ambato (~30km to the northeast) and Guaranda (~25km to the southwest). Chimborazo is surrounded by the Reserva de Produccion Faunistica Chimborazo, which forms a protected ecosystem to preserve the habitat for the Andes native camelids of vicuña, llama and alpaca.
