Tungurahua: “Life near to volcano”

I knew Ecuador in April 2003, during 14 days; I worked in Quito and the oilfield Bermejo. In my free time took two tours: first “Middle of the World City" the most important sightseeing near to Quito, really interesting, and second: Baños and Tungurahua trip.

The volcano activity in Ecuador is part of the life of the many peoples, knew the system of volcanoes was fascinated, 10 volcanoes are located in Ecuador and Tungurahua is active and once the most dangerous by eruptions unpredictable and consequences specialty over small town of Baños.

People in Baños know the risk and the government establish Emergency Plan and constantly realized simulations of evacuation of peoples and emergency support, all peoples in the town life in function of the volcano activities. Culture, painting, tourism, trip during the day and night are in reference of Tungurahua and are ancestral situations. The volcano restarted in eruption in 1999 and in 2008 continued ongoing.

Baños have too others extractives: beautiful and small fall around of the town, zoo whit species of the highlands. I like this trip, was wonderful experience.
