Cotapaxi

 Cotopaxi is an active stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains,  It is the second highest summit in Ecuador, reaching a height of 5,897 m (19,347 ft). It is one of the world's highest volcanoes.
Since 1738, Cotopaxi has erupted more than 50 times, resulting in the creation of numerous valleys formed by l(mudflows) around the volcano. The last eruption lasted from August 2015 to January 2016. Cotopaxi had been officially closed for climbing by authorities until it reopened on October 7, 2017.




 Normally, Cotapaxi can be seen from Pichincha, but it has been too cloudy and rainy.
