Cotopaxi is a volcano in Ecuador, at 5,897 meters the second highest in the country (the highest one being Chimborazo at 6,310 meters), and one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. However, despite occasional claims, it is not the highest historically active volcano, that title being held by the much higher Llullaillaco volcano (6,739 meters high, active in 1877) on the border between Chile and Argentina.
