A heavily glaciated volcano rising above a windswept páramo reserve southeast of Quito, one of the best places in Ecuador to watch Andean condors soar. The surrounding grasslands support wild horses, caracaras, and spectacled bear habitat, with the Mica lagoon offering easy walking trails at 3,900 meters.
