The Cotopaxi volcano is located in central Ecuador, 62 km northeast of Latacunga and 75 km southeast of Quito. It is bounded by the extinct Sincholagua volcano to the northeast and Rumiñahui volcano to the west. The document describes viewpoints near the volcano, including a 30-minute walk from the administration center to Sunfana Viewpoint, where there is a gazebo and campsite, and a 2-hour path from there to the Rumiñahui volcano.
