Tulabug (Too-la-boog)

Tulabug, if I haven't mentioned it before in my blog, is one of the big hills surrounding Licto. The people in Licto all say it is an extinct volcano...I had to climb it to see what I thought for myself. My conclusion is that it is certainly possible, yet not fully convincing. The two thinks that would lead me to believe that conclusion are the fact that the hill's top dips in quite a bit like a crater and the fact that there is black (volcanic) sand along the river right outside Licto. Whether you believe it or not, it's still a really beautiful hill with a nice view over Licto, Pungalá, Chambo, and Riobamba.

The view over all of Riobamba. I'd really like to hike up there sometime at night...
