Sacred Mountains of Ecuador: Spiritual Tourism and Andean Worldview
For indigenous peoples of the Andes, mountains are not just geographic formations—they are living beings, wise protectors, and guardians. Chimborazo, Imbabura, Cotopaxi, and Carihuairazo are considered “Apus” or tutelary spirits and are the center of rituals, offerings, and pilgrimages.
