Admire Chimborazo's natural beauty by planning a visit to Sangay National Park. The panorama is exceptional: greenery and immaculate white in the same painting. Indeed, the site is home to mountains with eternal snow. There are hundreds of lakes here, allowing you to practice water sports. Also, take the time to discover tropical plants and different kinds of animals, such as spectacled bears, otters, mountain lions and more.
This park, located south of Quito, is also home to the active volcano Tungurahua and the El Atar mountain. The latter has nine peaks, and if you reach one of the peaks, you will have a spectacular view of the beautiful lake at the bottom, as well as the surrounding rainforests and valleys of the Andes.
After a long journey, consider your well-being and relax at the Balneario Las Piscinas de Cunuyacu spa.
In addition, you can also stroll through the streets of Riobamba to discover the cultural and historical riches of Chimborazo. It is the capital of the province. Admire the Riobamba Cathedral and its Baroque style. This monument has existed since 1835. Then, visit the Museo de Arte Religioso de la Concepción, where several religious objects from the 16th century are on display. ◄
