People who have never visited Ecuador often picture it as
a land of steamy jungles astride the Equator, bordered by
the Pacific Ocean. They are unaware that a large area is the
Andean Sierra, dominated by a range of towering snow-capped
volcanoes and highland valleys that form a significant, temperate
ecological region.
|
|
Five
million years ago, at the beginning of the Pliocene period,
the mountain range now named the Andes appeared, dividing
Ecuador into two low forested plains and a narrower, intermediate
band bordered by the "Avenue of the Volcanoes".
|
|
The
Andes have always attracted mountain climbers from around
the world. In Ecuador this mountain chain is divided into
two ranges with several and impressive snow-capped peaks,
mainly of volcanic origin. Most of these peaks have rest areas
(shelters) for climbers to prepare for the final ascent to
the summit.
