Patate is a charming town in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America. It is located in the Tungurahua area, nestled between the cities of San Juan de Ambato and Baños. Patate is also very close to the Tungurahua volcano, which is still active.
In 2019, Patate received a special honor. Ecuador's Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR) named it a Pueblo Mágico, which means "magical town." Patate was the very first town in Ecuador to get this amazing title!
