El Altar or Capac Urcu is an extinct volcano on the western side of Sangay National Park in Ecuador, 170 km south of Quito, with a highest point of 5,319 m. Spaniards named it so because it resembled two nuns and four friars listening to a bishop around a church altar. In older English sources it is also called The Altar.
