Chimborazo is the highest peak in Ecuador, and at 20,700' higher than any mountain in North America. Due to the equatorial bulge, its summit is also the furthest point from the center of the Earth.
Nearest town or city: Riobamba
Directions: From Riobamba's Terminal Terrestre, most taxi drivers will take you to the end of the road near the lower of the two refugios. Stay at the Whymper hut-the higher of the two.
