Hiking: Pasochoa, Ecuador

The 13,800-foot extinct Pasochoa volcano is located in the Guayllabamba river basin in the Ecuadorian Andes. The Pasochoa Wildlife Refuge contains one of the few remaining original Andean forests.

This hike starts at the end of a private road and leads on a use trail to the summit of Pasochoa. The last section is rocky with some scrambling. Pasochoa offers great views of the Avenue of the Volcanoes.
