The volcanic activity of Tungurahua, near Baños in Ecuador, has increased over the past week with ash plumes and the noises reported form explosions caused windows to vibrate in the affected area. Banos close by is very much on the overlanding routes in Ecuador, however we have no reports of this affecting tours.
Tucan Travel tours report that their tours have not been affected.
The Chaiten volcano erupted on Thursday night firing rocks and ash high in to the atmosphere. It also caused more than 60 small tremors in the Los Lagos region, 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) south of the capital, Santiago. The town of Chaiten has been evacuated and several towns on the Argentina border have also been affected by the ash. This is an area which features in many overland tours.
