Cerro Cojitambo, Mountain peak in Azogues, Ecuador
The Cerro Cojitambo rises to 3,076 meters above sea level, featuring rock formations and natural terraces within the Andean mountain range system.
The mountain served as a crucial point along the ancient Kapac Ñan route that connected Quito to Cusco during the Inca Empire's expansion.
Archaeological remains at Cerro Cojitambo reveal structures built by the Cañari civilization using andesite stone blocks adapted to the terrain's morphology.
The mountain's climate ranges between 12 and 22 degrees Celsius, with two distinct seasons and multiple marked trails for hiking and climbing activities.
El Chorro, located at the mountain's center, functioned as the primary water source for the region's inhabitants throughout different historical periods.
