What to Know About Chimborazo

Key Facts

Chimborazo is a province located in central Ecuador, situated within the Andean highlands region. It is named after the Chimborazo volcano, which at 6,263 meters (20,548 feet) is Ecuador's highest peak and, due to the Earth's equatorial bulge, the point on the planet's surface farthest from its center. The province covers approximately 5,287 square kilometers and has a population of around 470,000 people. Chimborazo's capital is Riobamba, a historic city known for its well-preserved colonial architecture and vibrant indigenous markets. The province is divided into 10 cantons, including Riobamba, Alausí, and Guano, each with distinct cultural and geographical characteristics. Much of Chimborazo's terrain consists of páramo (high-altitude grassland) and rugged mountain landscapes, with agriculture—particularly potatoes, barley, and dairy farming—forming the backbone of the local economy. The province is also home to several indigenous communities, primarily of Puruhá descent, who maintain traditional customs and livelihoods.
