Cotopaxi,
meaning "Throne of the moon" is the name for the sacred mountain of the
Incas. With its altitude of 5.897m it is the second highest
mountain in Ecuador and one of the highest active volcanoes of the
Andes. Last erupting in 1904, he has since been sleeping
again; however, smaller earth quakes and smoke expulsions
indicate he is not in a deep sleep. |
