You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.Pelileo (full form: San Pedro de Pelileo) is a city, with a population of 11,403 (2022 census),[1] located at the center of the Andean region of Ecuador called La Sierra ("the highlands").

The only remaining structure still visible from the old city is a broken stone pillar, once part of Pelileo's magnificent main church.

Pelileo is also known as the Blue City, because of its booming jean industry, mainly located in the El Tambo parish.

Another of the parishes of Pelileo is the world-famous Salasaca, home to a Native American tribe originally from Bolivia that came to the Ecuadorian Andes as mitimaes.

On the morning of August 16, 2006, the Tungurahua volcano exploded, in what appears to be the main event of an eruptive process that started in 1999.
