Riobamba: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Riobamba is perched 2,750 m above sea level, 188 km south of Quito. The town itself doesn't have much to see and you really only stop there for the view from the highest peak in Ecuador, Chimborazo.
My suggestion
I recommend you go to Riobamba on a Saturday when it has the biggest market in the region.
