Volcán Santa Elena is a stratovolcano located in the Andes Mountains in Ecuador. It is part of the larger Andean Volcanic Belt and is considered a potentially active volcano, although it has not erupted in recorded history.
The peak of the volcano stands at 5,320 meters (17,454 feet), making it one of the tallest peaks in Ecuador. It is located near the popular tourist destination of Baños and is easily accessible by hiking trails. The crater of the volcano is relatively large and has been covered by snow and ice in the past.
Volcán Santa Elena is known for its stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, as well as its challenging hiking trails. It is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, Andean condors, and pumas.
Despite its status as a potentially active volcano, there are currently no known hazards associated with Volcán Santa Elena. However, it is closely monitored by volcanologists and could be a potential threat if it were to begin exhibiting signs of activity in the future.
