| Balbanera
Church and Chimborazo, Ecuadorīs highest peak (6310m) |
The Andes
mountains divide Ecuador North to South creating what the
celebrated explorer Alexander Humboldt termed the "Avenue
of Volcanoes". Volcanic Equatorial glacial peaks reaching
over 20,000 ft, (6,300m) thrust up from the paramo, expansive
high plains that form a unique ecosystem as they drop into
cloudforests and eventually into the Amazon Rainforest or
Pacific Coast.
