Cotopaxi is an active Volcano and has most recently erupted in 1904. There are even reports of volcanic activity as recently as 1942 and 1975. And Scientists feel it is likely to erupt any time soon. It has erupted as many as 50 times in the last 270 years.
Twice the mountain has annihilated the town of Latacunga, once in 1744 and the second time in 1768. Once in 1534 it intervened and stopped a battle being fought between the Incas and the invading Spaniards. Both armies fled in fear.
At 5897 m it is Ecuador's highest active volcano. It is sometime incorrectly referred to as the World's highest volcano as well. It is distinguished by the perfect symmetrical cone that comprises the summit crater. This crater is 600m × 800m wide in diameter and hundreds of meters deep.
