What can you see from Chimborazo?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Chimborazo — observation point at 6,272 m, coordinates -1.4691, -78.8175.
From Chimborazo, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 193 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 193 km to the north-northeast (bearing 16°), at 2,976 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 1,048,480 terrain samples.

Frequently asked questions
How far can you see from Chimborazo?
On a clear day the terrain allows a line of sight of up to 193 km from Chimborazo. The average visible distance across all 360 directions is 146 km. Atmospheric conditions (haze, humidity) usually reduce practical visibility below the terrain-limited maximum.
What is the farthest point visible from Chimborazo?
The farthest terrain visible from Chimborazo lies 193 km to the north-northeast, at an elevation of 2,976 m. Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction are accounted for in this calculation.
How high is Chimborazo?
The observation point at Chimborazo sits at 6,272 m above sea level (Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model).
How is this visibility map calculated?
UpToWhere traces lines of sight in 360 directions from the observer using 30 m-resolution Copernicus terrain data, correcting for Earth curvature and standard atmospheric refraction. You can run the same analysis for any point on Earth with the free calculator.
