Chiles Volcano

The Chiles Volcano is located right on the northern frontier of Ecuador, bordering Colombia. It's one of the main attractions of the El Ángel Ecological Reserve, rising in the middle of a sea of frailejones unique in Ecuador, which gives a very special flavor to this mountain. Chiles has been the talk of recent times due to its volcanic activity and the frequent seismic swarms that come from its bowels, which suggests that at some point, perhaps not too far away, it'll erupt again. Around the volcano there are some thermal water sources that are only a sample of the internal heat of these lands, sometimes channeled into pools, as is the case of the Aguas Hediondas Complex, very rich in sulfur. There are also some turquoise lagoons at the foot of Chiles, a very typical hue of the sulfur they contain, such as the Lagunas Verdes del Chiles.
