Mt. Cayambe   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Cayambe, mountain of the sun, is at 5790m not only the third highest mountain in Ecuador but also in the northern hemisphere of the American continent. It lies right on the equator and the meridian reaches its highest point at 4600m just south of the peak in its journey around the globe. Renowned British climber Edward Whymper and his two Italian guides and companions Juan Antonio and Luis Carrel were the first successful climbers to get to the top in 1880.
