Riobamba Overview

Shadowed by five spectacular snowcapped peaks in the heart of the Ecuadorian central highlands, Riobamba is an enchanting small city, with attractive 18th-century architecture, pretty, peaceful parks, interesting museums, and charming churches. Situated at an altitude of 2,750m (9,000 ft.), the town enjoys a principally springlike climate, similar to that of Quito, with plenty of cloudless days perfect for taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. As capital of Chimborazo province and a commercial hub, Riobamba boasts a fair amount of hustle and bustle, particularly at weekends, when the town comes alive with street traders and indigenous market sellers arriving from surrounding villages to hawk their goods and produce.
