Since the dawn of time, Ecuador has suffered devastation from volcanic eruptions. Spread for 200 miles, 24 active volcanoes are strung along Ecuador's Andean mountain range. The Pan American Highway, which runs from the Colombian border south to Peru, is known as the Avenue of the Volcanoes. Mexico, on the other hand, has only seven active volcanoes, and is seven times larger than Ecuador. Some of Ecuador's volcanoes include Cotopaxi, Sangay, Reventador, Sumaco, and Pichincha.
