Eleven kilometers far from Azogues city, we find Cojitambo. It is a small town where many tourists go mainly to climb the big Cojitambo mountain ("Complejo Arqueológico Cojitambo," n.d.). This hill is the principal tourist attraction. People from around the world visit it because there are more than 180 different climbing routes. Depending on the level of the climbers (beginners, intermediate, and experts), they choose the best route for them.

Apart from that, there is an archeological site at the top of the mountain. People who do not climb can go to the top of the hill by car and find Inca ruins. It is the Complejo Arqueológico Cojitambo.
There is a lot of history there. On their way to Machu Picchu, Incas must have built those ruins in the mountain. Currently, people from Cojitambo think the Incas chose this hill because of the panoramic view they had from there.  It allowed them to find the best routes and be alert for enemies.

Nowadays, the view is still marvelous. Tourists take advantage of it to take beautiful pictures. Also, the province prefecture is developing a project at the top of Cojitambo mountain due to the view. It is a glass viewing platform. The prefect may have planned it a long time ago because the project is well designed.

There are many things to enjoy in Cojitambo. It is a place to visit with family, friends, or your couple. You may have thought about a place like this one, may you not? So, what are you waiting to go? You will be more than welcome here!
