Pasochoa, located southeast of Quito in Ecuador, is an extinct volcano within the Andes that forms part of a protected wildlife refuge. Visitors can photograph the landscape, hike along forest and mountain trails, and camp in designated areas while exploring the surrounding natural environment. The site is known for its collapsed volcanic crater, which shelters a well-preserved Andean cloud forest supporting diverse plant and animal life. Established as a wildlife refuge, it protects one of the last remnants of original vegetation in the inter-Andean valley, making it important for conservation and ecological study.
