About this place
Ambato sits in the central Andean highlands of Ecuador, functioning primarily as an industrial and transportation hub. Most travelers encounter the city as a transfer point en route to destinations like Baños, often seeing little beyond the bus terminal.
Despite its workaday character, Ambato offers visitors a look at an authentic Andean city that sees relatively few international tourists. Its central location makes it one of the country's best-connected places, with frequent bus links to Quito, Cuenca, Riobamba, and nearby highland towns.
