The Imbabura Volcano is a volcano located in the province of the same name in Ecuador, with an altitude of 4,640 meters above sea level. If you wish to reach higher summits, you can take this option to get your body used to walking at altitude and thus achieve everyone’s goal of reaching the summit.

To the north of this volcano, at a distance of approximately 10 kilometers, is Ibarra, a small town full of friendly people, here we can find a small town called Otavalo, and to the south is Lake San Pablo. The ascent to this volcano will be a simple hike, for this it is recommended to bring warm clothes, hydration and food for the way to the summit.
