Riobamba is a historic city located in central Ecuador, nestled in the Andean highlands at an elevation of approximately 2,750 meters. Known as the "Sultan of the Andes," the city serves as the capital of Chimborazo Province and was once the first capital of Ecuador. The city was rebuilt in its current location after an earthquake destroyed the original settlement in 1797.
Riobamba's cultural heritage is evident in its well-preserved architecture, featuring a blend of Republican and colonial styles, particularly visible in its historic center. The city is surrounded by several volcanoes, including the impressive Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak.
The indigenous Puruhá culture has significantly influenced the region's cultural identity, which is reflected in local crafts, festivals, and traditions. The city maintains important cultural institutions and museums that showcase both its pre-Columbian heritage and its role in Ecuador's independence movement.
