El Altar Mountain Tours and Tickets
Located in Sangay National Park, in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes, El Altar Mountain is an extinct volcano whose cone collapsed centuries ago, leading to the formation of an altar-shaped ridge. Today nine peaks of over 16,400 feet (5,000 meters) form a central basin containing a green glacier crater lake known as Laguna Amarilla or Yellow Lagoon.
