Sumaco
Sign in to saveAlso known as Volcán Sumaco
Sumaco is a symmetrical, isolated stratovolcano, that is set off from the main Ecuador volcanic axis. Its rocks are very distinct from those from most Andean volcanoes because of its lack of andesitic composition, in favour of basanite and phonolitic rock. Sumaco is heavily forested and contains a small cone in its broad summit crater. An historical eruption occurred around 1895 (± 30 years).

Le Sumaco est un volcan d'Équateur, situé à la frontière des provinces de Napo et d'Orellana. Plusieurs rivières prennent leur source sur le Sumaco, qui n'est proche d'aucune zone habitée ni d'aucune route carrossable. Son ascension est difficile à cause de l'épaisse végétation et des difficultés d'orientation, et nécessite un trek d'une semaine.
