Chimborazo is a majestic stratovolcano located in the Andes mountain range of Ecuador. It stands as the highest mountain in the country, reaching an elevation of 6,263 meters (20,548 feet) above sea level. Due to the equatorial bulge, the summit of Chimborazo is the farthest point on the Earth's surface from the Earth's center, making it higher than Mount Everest when measured from the Earth's core. The volcano is part of the Chimborazo Wildlife Reserve, which protects its unique ecosystems and diverse wildlife.
