Al Volcán Tungurahua, 5,023 meters (16,480 ft)  above sea level.

Perched on a hilltop behind Baños, just beyond the village of Runtún, this grassy viewpoint is a photographer's dream. 

On a clear day like this one, I could see Volcán Tungurahua behind me.

*I am at 2,660 meters (8,727 ft) above sea level TODAY.
**Climbing to the Tungurahua Volcano Summit, 5,023 meters (16,480 ft)  above sea level tomorrow and the next day (2:00 am to 7:00 am).

***

In the Sierra region passing from the Cordillera Oriental, in the central pits the active volcano Tungurahua stands out whose cone rises to the south of the deep gap that the Pastaza has broken, following a transverse fault through the Cordillera Real near Baños . Since the day of its most recent eruption, in September 1999, the Tungurahua Volcano has become the most beautiful and impressive tourist attraction in Ecuador, and perhaps, throughout Latin America.

The Tungurahua volcano is known as "mama Tungurahua".

The province of Tungurahua has the name of this colossus, which houses in its skirts towns such as Baños, presents a unique spectacle, although it announces to the villagers its greatness and destruction in the case of a strong eruption. It is a sight to see volcano activity at night.

From different cities in the provinces of Ecuador, they move to know this tourist place. Many times holidays are provided to be able to do tourism throughout the territory.
