Machachi Ecuador

Machachi is the county seat of Mejía Canton in the Pichincha Province of Ecuador. It is located south of Quito, the capital of Ecuador. Machachi is a very beautiful city surrounded by the volcanoes Atacazo, Corazón, Rumiñahui, Illinizas Peaks, Viudita Hill, Pasochoa, and Sincholagua, and it includes part of the Cotopaxi volcano, a large active volcano. The valley contains eight volcanoes, which is one of the reasons Alexander von Humboldt named the region the “Avenue of Volcanoes.”
