Warnings Or Dangers: In the Path of Lava

  • In 1999 volcan Tungurahua had an explosive eruption. Baños was evacuated for months. There have been more eruptions since, including in 2006, with small villages destroyed and some casualties. The main road from Pelileo to Baños was cut off. Near the road, hardened lava flows remain, as well as destroyed houses.

    In Baños, you see "Evacuation Route" signs everywhere.

     Excellent page! I enjoyed following your route with you, and was particularly taken with the Bride's Veil cable-car & your photos of the Devil's Bucket. The Tagua turtle is cute ;)
