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. |
