Just got back from a quick two-day getaway and it totally blew my mind! 🌿 The place is unbelievably beautiful, the staff were super friendly, and the service was spot on. I even had a “relaxation massage” with a lovely lady named Cruz—and it was absolutely amazing!

This is a natural hot spring resort, about an hour from Quito and a perfect stop on the way to and from the airport as it's on the right side of the city. Although many visitors seem to come for the day, we were lucky to stay in a cabin with hot springs right outside the door and the two larger pools around 100 m away. The cabin was cosy and atmospheric. Lunch and dinner in the restaurant were both excellent, prices were more at the European level than the bargains elsewhere in Ecuador, but understanding this is a luxury resort. The buffet breakfast was a bit underwhelming, but not the end of the world and the staff were always friendly and attentive. This became a lovely memory of the end of our trip to Ecuador

Located high in the volcanic Andes mountains area over 10, 000 feet above sea level...Scenic and beautiful! The hot springs therma bubbling, relaxing & conveniently located right outside my room door. Truly a gem worth visiting. Area is quaint and well maintained. Friendly staff. Buffet Breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt, Meats, eggs, bread varieties, sweet cakes, coffee & delicious cocoa. Something for vegans too! Rooms modern very clean... offer Free WiFi. There was fog mist & cloudiness on the mountains making the area very chilly. The front desk bright me a portable heater to my room on request. Located 1 hour from Quito. Yes I would recommend and vist again.

Nice hot springs. Stopped on a Saturday and it was 48°F out so the place wasn't busy. The main pools are nice and hot while the smaller pools were either boiling or cold. Get a locker for your stuff. There are private showers and changing rooms. There is a small cafeteria that serves burgers but stay away from the salchipapas as here they are literally French fries with a hot dog on top.

Great experience to soak among the mountains. Beautiful pools and very clean. If you're in Quito and have time, do it..

The views! This place was AMAZING! Quiet and peaceful relaxing and the springs were hot and CLEAN. Staff was great and friendly as well. A must visit when in Ecuador.

Gorgeous hot springs in a picturesque setting. Surrounded by lush forested mountains, a serene experience is guaranteed. Really nice facility, very clean, well laid out, and well maintained. The water is not as mineralized as some hot springs (a more funky and pungent outburst is always appreciated!) However this experience was wonderful, therapeutic, and top-notch all the way.

Absolutely a must visit if you're in Quito. It really is one of the most beautiful interior churches you'll ever visit. And the amount of gold leaf on every surface is blinding - it's like Midas himself lived here for 100 years. In addition, during the weekend there are street vendors outside selling variety of handicrafts. It's very lively.

It's a beautiful place to both visit and take a little time out to reflect with God. Respect the latter, especially if other visitors are doing so. The amount of gold covering the walls is staggering. I won't compare this place to European churches other than it's equally as beautiful but for other reasons.

The crown jewel de la ciudad. The most iconic building in the UNESCO city, if you think Iglesia San Francisco is the king of Quito, then Iglesia Compana de Jesus is a grandpa to the king. Ancient and spectacular.

One of the most beautiful churches you'll visit, ever. Everywhere is full of decorations and details (Barroco Style). Correctly called, The Golden Church (La Iglesia de Oro). We spent like half a day there. Suggestion, use the local guide inside the church so you get all the information. Also, pay for the full experience. You'll view the interior plus you'll have access to the roof and crypts. Prices are really affordable for all you'll be able to experience.

For 160 years, Italian Jesuit brothers were devoted to building this incomparable church. Its architecture is in the Spanish baroque style. Most of the interior is covered in 23 karat gold leaf, including a golden dome. Our local guide shared that this historic church is filled with 56 sculptures and 44 paintings. One of the most famous paintings, El Inferno, is by the church entrance. It depicts the 25 deadly sins and how Lucifer will punish sinners at the last judgment. The church hosts special events in addition to weekly services.They were setting up for an evening concert when we visited. The church's exterior is made of volcanic gray stone. It's worth a second visit to return and see the church lit up in the evening.

You have to pay to enter ($6 per person) plus an additional $6 to visit the cupolas and the crypts but that includes a guided tour, which was very good. We were glad we did it!

Said to be the most beautiful church in South America and I believe it. Stunning. There is a small entrance fee.

A nice neo-gothic cathedral from the late 19th century. It’s not as “authentic” as the European ones from the 12th century, but still pretty neat. Be aware that there are two different type of tickets. One for the inside of the cathedral which you buy at the side doors, and one for access to climb the towers, which is bought in a little ticket office outside the cathedral. Fantastic view of the city from the top of the cathedral.

Pretty inexpensive tourist stop and has great views of the city. The inside is also grand, but the tower and touring the inside are separate fees, which is fine, but I'd just do the tower climb overall since you do get to see the inside of the church as well. The views at the very top once you pass through the clock tower were great as well.

This is the best place to see. A different cathedral from historical churches with a different architecture. I spent hours on the towers, so make sure you buy ticket for the tower. Plus, with the tower tour, you will be able to see the beautiful mosaic of this church.

Pretty cool architecture and design. We climbed all the way up the tours for a nice view of the city. The stairs on the far lone tower are very stepp and intimidating but worth it.

Beautiful basilica with a cheap entrance fee so that you can explore the tops of the church towers. The most interesting part of the basilica is the buttresses where instead of gargoyles, there are carvings of all the famous animals in Ecuador.

View from the top was absolutely amazing. The basilica is beautiful and reminds me of many churches in Europe.

Wow. What a majestic site, especially at night! Highly worth the visit. You can climb the three towers (4 USD entrance fee). The stairs to climb are steeeeeep - So if you're afraid of heights, it might not be a wise idea to climb up. The towers. Views of the city are spectacular.

I definitely recommend this place. The artist is incredible. He mixes art from the Inca Empire and Picasso to create amazing art. The idea behind this place was that he thought it foolish to have so many churches to a God we do not know exist, but none to humans who have created so many beautiful things unfortunately we also create a lot of pain, and that is a lot of of the source of his paintings. The pain that is caused from one human to another.

The whole experience is just amazing! The tour thru the former residence of the artist is not only interesting from an artistic point of view but also offers a glimpse into the artists life and beliefs. The museum itself - the capilla - is breathtaking! The art is huge and this building is honoring this artist, who, as i believe, is on of the greatest of the 20th century! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly! Can highly recommend. One of the best museums I have been to.

I love everything here. I don’t like the style he painted, but I could feel something from his arts and felt like crying. The guides were accelent, if you are not fully aware of Guayasimn, you should join the guide tour which is included in the enterance fee.

If you enjoy art, this is a fantastic museum to go to. We knew nothing about Guayasamin before our visit but we were blown away by the power of his work, both aesthetically and for its championing of social justice. The architecture is also stunning. The $10 ticket ($5 for seniors) gets you informative guided tours to both the Chapel and his house. There are no set times for the tours; they just arrange it when you show up. Uber from the old city is about $6.

This ambition temple to peace contains large works by Guayasamìn. They are bold, powerful, and moving. The scale of the whole place is grand and frankly overwhelming. Guayasamìn captured pain and suffering and in this temple, these are in full display. Something was missing though--context. The work and the experience would be much more enhanced if there was more context provided for the paintings. For instance the powerful and unique painting called Napalm is a statement about the Vietnamese war. Many younger visitors will not catch the reference or why this protest painting is so important. Since the museum provides free wi-fi, they can also include QR codes by works for visitors to dig deeper. I would have liked to read or hear the artist's words about the Vietnam war. I am glad I visited, but I was expecting something more intimate. I hear "chapel,"and I imagine smaller spaces for contemplation and reflection. This is a massive monument and temple for peace but also the artist himself. The foundation works hard to persevere and promote Guayasamìn 's work and legacy, but this drowns out the message and import of the chapel .

We were more than amazed at Guayasamin's artistry. It is truly inspiring. This artist made over 5000 pieces of art in his lifetime. This includes watercolor, acrylic, & oil paintings. He made sculptures and designed jewelry and even furniture. A true artistic genius. He started painting on potato sacks as his family had no money for canvases. He painted at night, hiding from his father, who disapproved of his career choice. His house and studio are shown with a guided tour, either in english or in spanish. There is also a museum with incredible works spanning 3 different art collections. It's definitely a must-see.

Perfect combination of architecture and art. Limited number of works, which works well with the huge spaces. Better to visit first the casa, and than the capilla.

Octobre 2021. A must-visit place! The views are stunning, the site is very clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The gardens are beautiful. The museums are accessible and take you back through history — with clear explanations that make the experience even richer.

Cool to stand on the equator. The place is very commercialized but it didn’t bother me. I was there shortly after the place opens at 0900. No wait and it felt like I was alone in there. Well worth the $5 entry fee.

Its very commercial, the old indigenous replica's of bamboo houses are fine examples of how they were built. The monument is known because its a famous to see where the Equator runs, the museum inside is moderate. If you have enough time to visit..

An iconic place that must be visited. Clean. Wasn’t crowded. Everyone was kind. The stairs to the top are more than a party. There are landings with historical and cultural info. An Uber ride from the center of Quito was very inexpensive.

Mitad del Mundo Monument The Mitad del Mundo Monument is a must-see landmark for anyone visiting Quito. Rising above the equatorial line, this monument marks a symbolic ‘middle of the world’ location and offers a rich mix of history, views, food, shopping, and photo opportunities. --- What I Loved Iconic photo opportunities: The large yellow line, the monument structure itself, the views overlooking Quito — perfect for snapshots, panoramas, and drone shots. Amenities & food: There are several restaurants, cafés, and snack stands. Good variety of local food and more international options. Great if you plan to spend several hours. Planetarium & exhibits: The planetarium here is well-done — interactive shows and nice lighting make it a good complement to walking around the grounds. Shops and crafts: Plenty of souvenir shops and artisan stalls. Good for picking up Ecuadorian handicrafts, hats, local textiles. Self-guided strolls: The area is easy to walk around. Paths are clear, there are many vista points. Landscape gardens make for nice video walk-throughs. --- What to Know / Tips Admission is US$5 (a common theme in both places), and it’s worth budgeting 2-3 hours here, especially if you eat or shop. Best visited in the morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and harsh sunlight in photos. Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and good walking shoes. Even though paths are paved in many parts, there are some uneven or steeper stairs. If you like video content, walking through the monument, going up to observation decks, capturing the planetarium show, and filming the food/restaurants are good shots. Wide shots of the monument and of people crossing the equatorial line are very shareable. Overall Verdict For the price and what you get, Mitad del Mundo offers a well-rounded blend of tourism, culture, food, and photo ops. It’s less detailed in terms of science and experiments, but it makes up for that with convenience, comfort, and visual appeal. Highly recommend if you have limited time in Quito and want the iconic middle-of-the-world experience.

It is a must-see if you come to Quito, Ecuador we took the double decker bus with jump on jump off stops. The middle of the world was fun. Great restaurants. Great souvenirs at reasonable prices.

They start with a chocolate tour. And then a local tribe chat with some historical facts thrown in. Bit random if you ask me. Was very well done, for not a lot of money either. 5 dollars I think. This includes information about men who tuck their willies in rope belts and and how to shrink a humans head after you cut it off defeated opponent. Supposedly you're not allowed to do this anymore, but who follows 'all' of the laws anyway. I'm referring to cutting off and shrinking heads here, not tucking willies into rope belts. I dont know if the government cares if you do that. Spoiler, they wear pretty much only the rope.

If you really want to stand on the equator, this is the place to go - a cute little museum that provides a compact overview of Ecuadorian culture and a very clear scientific explanation of the position on the zero meridian. Well worth a visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Google Review – Intiñan Museum (GPS 0°0’0”) The Intiñan Museum is where the equator becomes more than just a line on a map. It’s a more immersive, interactive, and cultural experience that complements the grandness of Mitad del Mundo. What I Loved Official GPS equator line: This is the accurate 0°0’0” location. It adds authenticity for people who care about geography, GIS, and cultural heritage. Hands-on experiments & demonstrations: Balancing eggs, watching water drain differently on each side of the equator, learning about magnetism, seeing how shadows behave differently — these make it fun and educational. Great for videos showing experiments. History & indigenous culture: The museum does well explaining pre-colonial and indigenous perspectives, myths, and scientific (astronomical, geographical) understanding of the equator. Guides are knowledgeable. Smaller crowds & more depth: Because it’s less commercial, the atmosphere is calmer. Better for those who want to learn, reflect, take their time. What to Know / Tips Tab US$5 entry as well. Plan about 1.5-2 hours if you want to do all the experiments, speak with guides, view exhibits, and take photos/videos. Bring water, a light jacket (often breezy or cooler at the equator point), comfortable shoes. Weather may change quickly. Best moments for video: capture experiments, close-ups of how water behaves, the official GPS plaque/marker, the guide’s commentary, and exterior shots of nature and landscape. If you’re photographing, macro shots of trees, insects near the museum environment, plus wide shots showing the equatorial line and exhibits.

The guides are super friendly and make the visit fun and informative, explaining everything about the equator, science, and local culture. We saw cool experiments like watching water swirl differently on each side of the equator. I even balanced a raw egg on a metal nail at the 0°0’0’’ line and got a certificate for it! The true 0°0’0’’ spot is in the parking lot of this museum. Highly recommend for a unique mix of culture, science, and fun!

My fd and I didn't have enough time to stay and check out everything. The staff were very accommodating knowing that we have a flight to catch and can only spend 10-15mins. We went to the water experiments and the sun dial area right away. It's good to finally find the scientifically proven equator after going to 2 other locations which also claimed they are on the equator.

The displays and entrance were very nice and welcoming, and some discussions and displays are cool, including shows of local flora and fauna, but that's where my positive reviews end. There's so much to say about the equator and Quito's unique proximity to it that it is highly disappointing that much of this place seems to play tourists for stupid. First, no, their display and monument is NOT the true equator; that is much closer to the main road of the entrance. Second, while the Coriolis Effect does introduce unique phenomena to Earths weather and that near Quito, it does not cause eggs to balance on nails, it does not make water switch directions down drains, or cause you to lose your balance. This was half of the paid tour... as a science teacher who is passionate about weather, GPS coordinates, so much cool stuff is left out for gimmicks that cater to the gullible tourists. It's a waste of talent and resources at best, and mis-education at worst.

Unique and worth the fee. Supposedly the more accurate 0"0" and the ticket comes with a free tour in English or Spanish. If you manage to balance an egg on a nail you get a certificate :)

We were taken here during g a tour of Quito.it was very interesting and we learnt a lot about the two hemispheres and how it affects the weather and Time. There's also a demonstration about choc olate. It was a fascinating diversion while awaing our Galapagos cruise.

Loved this hidden gem of a place. We just ran into it and were grateful for it. The artist was there, painted for us and drank tea with us. He was so humble and nice. The store inside has a lot of great items, and his art is amazing. He paints only with his hands. Would visit again.

The best attraction in Quito! Such a unique quirky temple adorned with the fabulous paintings & sculptures of the Ecuadorian artist Juan Ortega. We also got a guided tour in English, a cup of Coca tea & if you go at the weekend you get to meet the charismatic artist himself, watch him paint a painting in 5 mins, and sample his delicious bottled liquor. Bargain. Do not miss this attraction!

Would have been nice if the meditation was longer if they gave information about the history of the place . It was very much centred around selling products

Really interesting place, worth to go. The entrance was 4$. Inside you can buy aromatic oiles, coca leaves, mineral stones and well - painting of master Ortega. We went during weekend and Ortega was there, we could speak to him and he painted a piece of art with fingers in 3 minutes, just in front of us. The only thing I missed was passion of guides, they were reciting monologues by heart, and there was no time for asking questions and we had a lot of them because the tour was full of amazing experiments.

Very interesting museum that is a work of art itself, feels like entering an ancient temple. Admission is $4 for locals, $6 for gringos. Parking is $1 (shared parking lot with volcano hiking and several gift shops). It was definitely a bit of a money-making enterprise. Don't take the demonstrations too seriously, it's a sales pitch, but still fun. Cristobal Ortega Maila was an extremely prolific and talented artist who worked with many kinds of media, from painting in different styles to sculpture to architecture, much of it rooted in ancient local cultures and traditions, and it is all showcased here. But more than just the art, there is also a presentation (in Spanish) that begins at the top of the tower, describing ancient natural herbal medicine (with samples!), then moving downstairs to explore the design of the building (like many ancient temples would have been) as a way to keep track of the movements of the sun throughout the year, and also of course to pay homage to the sun god Init. The presentation ended in the gift shop with a relaxing aromatherapy session with musical instruments to simulate the sounds of Nature while breathing different scents. All the products demonstrated were available for sale.

Totally worth the visit, I recommend this place. The meditation chamber is an awesome treat. They sell really affordable bracelet's, charms and souvenir's. The tea offered is an energizing potion. I really enjoyed my time there. This is a great opportunity, place for taking pictures. The art work is incredibly breathtaking. Stop by and get a feel of an ancient time in a modern world.

It’s not archeological site , it’s museum. Nice climate about the mountain clouds everywhere in this museum. Get your own car , there are no taxi there. Lucky that I met a nice gentleman he take me back to my hotel.

A typical outdoor market, but larger than most. Lots of touristy items that are mass produced and not artisanal as I expected. Only a few items of true artisanal quality.

Amazing !!!!! walk around and see what you want first. You can definately barter. Such a cool place! I was actually surprised they had stuff that fit me being 6 foot 3 with long arms.got a XL jacket and XL sweater that fit perfect!

This place was a riot of colors, vendors and just lovely stuff all around! We went to the Saturday market and there were dozens of vendors selling all sorts of interesting things. The prices are pretty steep but it's a great experience to be amidst the lovely Chaos! I highly recommend this place if you want to get a flavor of the local culture.

Plaza de Ponchos is Otavalo’s main square where local artisans gather to trade their goods with visitors. “The fair” used to be only on Saturdays, but now you can find artisans every day of the week. There is a vast variety of products ranging from high quality handcrafts to inexpensive souvenirs. My personal favorites are the necklaces and the hand-woven textiles. This is one of Ecuador’s must-see places, make sure to take your time walking around if you get the opportunity.

Great place, full of beautiful handcrafted gifts. You can find ornaments, clothing, jewelry, musical instruments, anything. The best time to visit the Plaza is early in the morning around 8am. Prices sometimes can be little high but they accept fair offers. This is is must visit when you visit Ecuador.

If you are looking for everything and more with Ecuadorian culture, this is the place! They have delicious food, amazing clothing, and great location so you don't get lost! I could buy things for myself, leisure, and clothes for a baby at affordable prices!

Lots of time can be spent walking around this market. There are many items available to purchase. There are street food vendors offering a variety of items for sale. It is very important to negotiate prices. For example, I purchased a belt for $7USD. By the end of the negotiations, I paid $7USD. The market vendors are very friendly and willing to negotiate on the prices. In my experience in the market I felt very safe walking around and socializing with the people. At the end of my visit I was fortunate enough to see an indigenous parade. This was a celebration of marriage. I was pretty excited to see this. I would definitely recommend this place. The people are nice and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. The selection of products is also quite good.

One of my favourite easy hikes in the world

Beautiful lake with rich history. Wasnt alot of people which made boarding the boat quick. Super friendly staff and a great guide.

Beautiful walk around Cuicocha Lagoon. The area has well preserved paths and signposting, there are different spaces to sit and enjoy the view and when it’s really hot there is shelter also. Reasonable entrance price.

at 3100 m of altitude this lagoon offers a walk with beautiful views and panoramas, technically and physically easy. the route goes up to 3450 m, and with an easy pace lasts from 4 to 4.5 hours, taking all the time necessary to immortalize the experience with photos. take water with you and use sunscreen because if it's a sunny day, the exposure is important.

A beautiful place though poorly marked. If I didn't explore, I would miss a beautiful trail around the lagoon. There are millions of places where you can put a board with a map and basic information. You will find one after you discover the trail yourself. Ecuador wake up. There are millions of tourists around the world that would love to spend billions of dollars in this beautiful country. Help them!

Easy 12km hike around the lake, very nice views

The "Guinea Pig Lake" (as the lake in Quechua is called) is a 200 meter deep crater lake at the foot of the dormant Cotacachi Volcano. The two islands in the lake, Isla Wolf and Isla Yerovi, are ancient volcanic cones. You cannot visit the islands, but you can take a nice boat trip on the lake, visit the visitor center, or walk around the lake (which will take an entire day). Recommended!

The train (station) is out of service for good. You can forget about the Salinas trip. Buses still go, but that's it. What a pity and touristic value destruction for Ibarra.

Waste of time, we have stayed two days in Cotacachi area just to take a ride. On the first day we were told that we need to return on Wednesday as there is no service on Monday and Tusday. We got back as told on Wednesday to be told that 14:00 is cancelled.

(Translated by Google) For the first time in my 50 years I had the opportunity to get on a train and enjoy the Taita Imbabura... I am from Guayaquil, so the trip was long but it was worth it. I bought my tickets on the website and I came back safe with my ticket and I chose the window side. (Original) Por primera vez a mis 50 años tuve la oportunidad de subirme a un tren y disfrutar del Taita Imbabura...soy de Guayaquil, por lo que el viaje fue largo pero valió la pena compre mis boleto en la pagina y ya vine segura con mi boleto y escogí de lado de la ventana

(Translated by Google) For me it is not a good experience because I can't even buy the tickets, the page is not even enabled, I have been there since 9:20 because supposedly it is enabled at 9:30 and nothing, for this I wrote to the WhatsApp number and they tell me "a thousand apologies it is because of the provider" that the page is not enabled, I ask for a contact number so I can call and present my complaint and they tell me that the page is "enabled for 3 more nights, be aware", is this a joke? They say that everything is already sold out and tell me to try? What a way to make fun of people who want to buy directly, is there a deal with the tours that leave from here in Quito?

Dice que ya esta todo vendido y me dice que intente? Que manera de burlarse de las personas que queremos comprar directamente, acaso existe negociado con los tours qué salen desde aquí de Quito? Ya voy s llamar para ver si ellos tienen..y regresaré a contar por este medio.

Free entrance, Easy to reach in 15min from Ipiales. Nice simple church build in the rock. Interesting also the underground museum (5.000 pesos) You can walk around, down to the river, you have a nice path. Or stay around, go the the waterfall in the front

This was the main reason for our trip. Unfortunately what should be a holy site has turned into a tourist trap. The priests have to get this under control. The museum access is down several flights of stairs and that is really no problem except when the museum is closed for lunch and there is no sign at the top of the staircase so you made the trip for nothing. Too commercial. Sad.

Great place to visit! Only recommend to have lunch before. There is only one restaurant on the top, a bit pricey and not many varieties. Good shoes for walking and great camera !!

It's a nice place during the night since you can appreciate the lights however this place is lacking maintenance and you can see the place need more attention. There's dog feces , garbage ... Very sad ... I believe this place should charge an entry fee to use this money to maintain the place ..

The place has lots of small food and souvenir stands as well as picnic places and paths around the the river. There are lots of dogs that wait for food. The place is a beautiful wedding scenery and suitable for other festivities or small family gatherings. The Teleferico takes 20min one way and costs 30k pesos round trip, they also accept USD (we paid 6.85$ per person). Parking costs 1USD or 4 pesos.

No doubt this is place is absolutely lovely, is really small once you are there, but the setup is beautiful. Worth to visit, get into the museum and spend the 10 mins watching the video, well worth it. Do Not take the cable car, is the slowest on earth, expensive and the views are nothing special.

Beautiful architecture! Full of history and gorgeous views. The sanctuary has a museum that is about 2 us dollars or so, and it has pre-colombino pieces, history on the architecture and how it was built, and a piece of the religious aspect. It was informative and very culturally rich! When you arrive to las lajas sanctuary, you will walk for about 30 minutes down until you find the sanctuary. Recommendations: -Not wheelchair accessible -pets are allowed -if you are catholic, you can buy souvenirs and the prist will bless them during mass. -bring water and snacks -eat at the lajas restaurant

(Translated by Google) The landscape is impressive, I really liked living this experience but the road to get here is poorly marked and with holes, apart from the 6 km one-way walk that must be done is in poor condition due to the rains, there are many holes and it is noticeable that they do not provide the necessary maintenance. If you like trekking and impressive landscapes you should know this lagoon. (Original) El paisaje es impresionante, me gustó mucho vivir esta experiencia pero la vía para llegar aquí está mal señalizada y con huecos, aparte la caminata de 6 km de ida que se debe hacer está en mal estado por las lluvias, hay muchos huecos y se nota que no le dan el mantenimiento necesario. Si te gusta el trekking y los paisajes impresionantes debes conocer esta laguna.

Beautiful place to enjoy the peaceful sound of the nature

What a beautiful place to visit, looks like a a fairy tail place

This place is gorgeous my visit here was so pleasant, the people are so friendly

Laguna de la Cocha is the best nature attraction in your visit to Pasto! Nice views, fresh air and wonderful local people !

We loved going to lake and walking around the island. What a beautiful place! I have also gone swimming here, it's invigorating!

Kayaking or swimming this beautiful lake

The most beautiful place in the country. A must visit!!

Amazing place to view history and the statues these groups created. Worth the money. The $65000 that people complain about covers three parks which is great value. Please go and see these spectacular monuments.

Amazing place. If you come to Colombia you must visit San Agustin and San Agustin Archaeological Park. Amazing history and amazing introduction to the. culture of Colombia.

We expected more from our visit, first, its expensive, the museum with its statues and pottery is a must see to understand more about the rest you will see on your walk. The burial sites and statues are very interesting. The carved out place by the river with its bamboo bridge is very special and one of the highlights. If you follow the staircase up to the last burial site your will find an excellent open restaurant fillid with miscellanous mixture of music and souvenirs. The empanadas and cane sugar juice were delighting. Across it is another place thats belongs to the same family and sells homemade icecream.

The sculptures are interesting, but little information about them survive, which leaves open the possibility of "creative" interpretation such as the one we heard from a guide today. We were regaled with stories about Atlantis and Egypt and pygmies and seemingly anything but the factual local information - real woo woo stuff. These questionable interpretations by our guide reflected poorly on the site and detracted from our experience, which was otherwise pleasant.

The largest necropolis in the world is in Colombia! Hundreds if not thousands of stone sculptures, and most of them still buried, is a small sample of the great civilization that settled in these lands thousands of years ago. I went with my wife and my 10-11 year old children and it was one of the best trips in my life. Colombians, let's value this kind of treasures, and foreigners are very welcome to visit this marvel. A few tips: Hire one of the local guides of the park, arrive early, bring hydration, good shoes, there are 3 more parks, this is the main one if you don't have much time at least go to the idol park. Oh and bring the best disposition to know this beautiful place.

The park is pretty nice and I can recommend it for every tourist who is interested in archeological topics. However, the price of 65k is way too much, compared to other sights in Colombia. It would be nice to have a cheaper ticket option for this park only, because many tourists only stay for one day and are not interested in the other parks that are quite far away.

We're always looking for places that allow dogs. Probably the best one we've found. Hours are entry hours are 8-3 but you can stay in the park until 5.

I enjoyed the trek. Fit for adventurous individuals and happy souls.

(Translated by Google) The volcano remains CLOSED to the public, it can no longer be visited. However, you can visit the rest of the national park and it is very beautiful, especially the hot springs, the Condor and the landscapes, wonderful! But it is difficult to organize the visit if you do not have your own transportation, you have to pay for a guide, entrance and transportation, it is a little expensive… (Original) El volcán permanece CERRADO al público, ya no se puede visitar. Si embargo sí se puede visitar el resto del parque nacional y es muy bonito, sobre todo los termales , el Condor y los paisajes, una maravilla! Pero es difícil organizar la visita si no tienes transporte propio, hay que pagar guía, entrada y transporte, sale un poco caro…

(Translated by Google) The entire area is beautiful; the volcano has been closed to visitors for 3.5 years due to volcanic activity. However, you can enjoy a full day of hiking in the region's beautiful ecosystem. If you're staying in the town, you'll need to take a shuttle to the park entrance where the Indigenous Council is located. There are also lodging options there, including cabins and camping services. (Original) Es preciosa toda el área, el volcán desde hace 3.5 años no se puede visitar por registros de actividad volcánica. Pero se puede disfrutar todo un día del precioso ecosistema de la región, caminando. Si se hospedan en el pueblo se debe coger transporte para llevarlos al ingreso del parque donde está el Cabildo indígena. También hay opciones de hospedaje allá, hay cabañas y servicio de camping.

Super 👌

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to visit ♥️ It is always necessary to be careful inside the hot springs so as not to cause damage. The bad thing is that the road is too bad. But it was worth getting there. The indigenous guards are very honest. We lost a phone and they returned it to us. They charged us 100,000 for the entrance fee for both of us and the guide. It was during the week. (Original) Excelente lugar que toca conocer ♥️ Siempre toca ir con cuidado dentro de los termales para no hacer daños. Lo malo es que la carretera está demasiado mala. Pero si valió la pena llegar. Los guardias indígenas son muy honestos. Se nos perdió un teléfono y nos lo devolvieron. Nos cobraron 100.000 por la entrada de los dos y el guía. Fue entre semana.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful paramos in Colombia, in its peaks you can see the Andean condor. The road is always kept in good condition due to the intervention of the indigenous council that is responsible for managing the protected area. Tourism is being implemented and promoted in an important way, improving the Pilimbala facilities and projecting similar projects in other spaces, such as the old sulfur mine. SUPER RECOMMENDED TO CLIMB IN DECEMBER-JANUARY, a time of low cloud cover and good visibility. (Original) Uno de los páramos mas hermosos de Colombia, en sus picos se puede apreciar al cóndor de los Andes. La carretera se mantiene siempre en buen estado por la intervención del cabildo indígena que se encarga de administrar el área protegida. Se está implementando e impulsando el turismo de una manera importante, mejorando las instalaciones de Pilimbala y proyectando atrás similares en otros espacios, cómo por ejemplo la antigua mina de azufre. SUPER RECOMENDADO SUBIR EN DICIEMBRE-ENERO, época de baja nubosidad y buena visibilidad.

And nothing to say or feel about the guide Andrés Felipe Vargas, what quality of human being, what humility, what kindness, what a sense of belonging to the company and what it does, we had a super incredible time on our trip to Huila, we visited the beautiful town of Paicol, we did activities such as torrenting and hiking, we went to the Tatacoa desert, at the hand of the giant, or rather we loved everything about the hotels, the food, absolutely everything, and most importantly I highly recommend them, keep up the good work guys .

It is more than 20 years that I come every year to Cali but for one reason or another I've never been able to visit the zoo. I have to make a premise: It is a relatively small zoo but very well maintained with very instructional legendas. We spent 5 hours and really enjoyed our time.

Loved the visit to this zoo with my girlfriend. So many amazing animals to see and they are all well taken care of. The exhibitions are also decorated in a very cute way. It’s 50k pesos for foreigners but it’s totally worth it

Great place to go with all ages! Lots of animals from all across the world and even a tiger! A nice route to follow across and useful information on conservation efforts made in the area. There are a lot of friendly zoo keepers around who are informative in their areas and are willing to answer any questions you want. Shop worth going to as well with hand painted t-shirts that they sell.

It was my first time to Columbia and my wife took me on an adventure to Cali. The atmosphere, architecture and the animal displays are fantastic. I highly recommend going to the zoo in Cali, Columbia.

Amazing, very well taking care and animal and people have beautiful surroundings.

This place was fun! Lots of animals, some native to Colombia, lots of historical information around. I was excited to see the oso-con-anteojos, which I got to see but the bear kept pacing in the corner. Not sure what was going on, my son was excited see the bear, and the monkeys, lions, and.. bear. :)

Although I’m not a fan of zoos, I believe animals are not meant to live in cages, I have to admit that this one is beautifully designed. They’ve created a whole story around it, and the way you move through the exhibits has an Amazonian-style vibe that makes the experience quite unique

A beautiful park with lots of painted cat sculptures, in addition to to Tejadas El Gato del Rio. A must see while in Cali.

Great and nice sculptures in Cali... There is one main big cat, and others smaller cats which done by other sculptors... One of the main tourist things to see in Cali... Location great in the center of the city near the river.... There also you can buy souvenirs in few places... Also there is benches to seat and relax... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Cali in Colombia...

Cool statues and at the end if you go around the playground area ro the right you'll find the Cali sign

The obvious attraction is El Gato del Rio, along with his girlfriends. However, overall this is a nice area to stroll around the river and be on the lookout for a variety of bird.

This amazing park is located on the Cali River … walking distance from many hotels in the area. Best time to come is before 9 AM as the weather is still relatively cool and you will avoid rush when some schools send their students to explore … all signs are in Spanish though 🥲 … but I love seeing the art. Bravo Cali

I was luckily Staying just 2 blocks away and probably strolled the literal ‘cat walk’ a few times daily. The talented artists have provided such a wonderfully unique expletive here. Nestled along side the Cali river and a beautiful park on one side! Also it is well Lit at night so I felt very safe there.

We took an evening stroll through this area and it is really very pretty with the variety of cat sculptures all with their own meanings. We felt safe at all times, this is a lively area so if you are in the vicinity make sure you pass by.

Been wanting to go there ever since I learned that Colombia has a desert 🏜️🌵. Was not disappointed, truly lived up to the hype. The red desert was my favorite. There are many things to explore and experience. The observatory, the selfie park, restaurants, horseback riding, all are superb. We drove far back into the desert and there were many animals we saw as well as bird watching. I’d definitely make this trek again.

Wonderful place! Get ready for extrem hot weather and lots of sun! Use a cap, sneakers, water and comfortable clothes is key to survey the walk successfully. The entrance is free, there are options if you want a guided tour, they have their own motorcycle for transportation and you can follow them by car.

You can go by yourself if you have a car! Several options to eat and enjoy. Highly recommend before the sunrise or at golden time to enjoy the sunset and then the stars. Is a magical place, sometimes the dry forest of this desert looked more green because of the rain.

Amazing place with a wealthy history background, excellent to explore and to enhance your knowledge about nature

Beautifull! Just Beautifull! I was not easy to get here, but i am so happy that i took the time to visit this gorgious dessert. Important, take enough water with you, even on a cloudy day. Apply lot's of sunscreen even when it rains.

Incredible place!! I went with a tour from backpackers & travellers hostel in Neiva and it was a wonderful experience. Some sand flies at night but definitely worth visiting. It’s like a mini-utah. The grey desert is also quite wonderful with unique slot canyon formations all around. Take advantage of the nature here before it disappears due to weather effects on the red desert!

The deserts are super beautiful, but it's rather small. The observatory we went to was not at all good. You just sat on the roof of a building and got an explanation of some things, but nothing really new. Not worth the 10 000.

This is truly a hidden gem. So many different types of aircraft and cars that you can spend hours looking. I was also impressed with the model railways and model airplanes on display. Overall this was definitely the highlight of my trip.

The visit to this museum near the airport was worth every minute. somebody really made an effort here and put a lot of time into details. There are countless models on display, and the cutlery from quite a few airlines in different decades is displayed behind different glass cases. the history of avianca, SCADTA and many interesting details about the aviation of Colombia are conveyed here to the interested visitor.

This place is a WOW. Plan at least 2 hours. And if misquitos like you, bring repellant. They ate me up inside

Very tranquil. Staff is very dedicated, attentive. And help you understand what you are looking at. Yet they let you walk around by yourself and no time limit. Truly enjoyed myself

A true hidden gem! The aircraft and vintage car collection is impressive, The airplane and ship model collection on the second floor is breathtaking, but the model railway (fourth largest in the world) is the jewel of the crown; well worth the ticket price by itself. Highly recommended!

I cant say enough about how wonderful this museum is. Old steam engines, vintage tractors, massive planes thousands of models, and the most expansive model train sets i have ever seen. The staff was perfect and extremely knowledgeable. Great job!

Excellent displays and friendly staff. Too bad the café was closed...

Nice museum with botanical gardens and sugarcane exhibits. More expensive for foreign tourists, unfortunately.

Closed on Mondays. Don't follow google Maps. Instead, use Waze.

The best from the walk around the museum was the variety of trees, plants and flowers. As per the sugarcane treatment or sugar making process not so much information or equipment to see.

An amazing and beautiful hacienda. Showcasing the different cultural ways to process the sugarcane. A beautiful natural set up. Flowers and gardens are unique.

A historical sugar plantation house with amazing gardens and examples of sugar processing tools / methods from all over Colombia. Minus 1 star due to difficulty to travel to from Cali, the final road was poor and there is limited signage and none of the tour or guides was in english. These problems are evident because on the Saturday when we visited there were only about 10 other visitors at the peak midday time. It wouldn't take much work to make this a world class museum and tourist attraction, I really hope they try because it has so much potential.

Beautiful place to learn about the process of sugar cane and how it's changed over time. Ask for Manuel as a guide! Very knowledgeable.

Great place to learn about sugarcane process. The museum is beautiful and surrounded by lots of trees, flowers, brooks and ponds. It also has a traditional house where you can see how people used to live a while ago.

This was a great experience with wonderful views. The history is very interesting, the place is so clean. The staff are friendly and fun. Started and ended tour with amazing coffee, along with being an ambassador for coffee after the coffee baptism. Highly recommended.

Before coming here, we spent the whole day on a coffee tour where they did a much worse job explaining coffee in hours compared to the young barista who attended us at this coffee terrace in just a few minutes. You can truly feel the passion for coffee that everyone who works here has. The baristas deliver impeccable service and explanations. Of course, it’s no surprise that the coffee here is some of the best I have ever tasted. If all that isn’t good enough, there is also a terrace with beautiful views of the landscape and the small village in the mountains. I will never forget this place, a magical spot in the mountains.

The expresso was very good. The cappuccino was also very good. They have a small variety of desserts but the atmosphere and view are the real reason for coming here. The service is very good also. Enjoying the birds singing and the beautiful view really brings out your our inner peace and awakens you to a beautiful place.

The best place to learn about the world famous coffee culture and its anthology. Great tour, delicious bakery, awesome coffee and a mind blowing cocktail made with a sweet melasa made out of coffee. The landscape you can capture from the terrace has no match on this country.

We had a great time at San Alberto. We learned a lot about coffee and all the different ways of preparing it. The view was beautiful and service was excellent. I highly recommend the coffee experience.

One of the places that you have to visit in the coffee region of Colombia if you want to taste the coffee that won the most of the prices over Colombia. This cafe represents perfectly what is a perfect cup of coffee in many different types of ways. Enjoy it strong or soft, or cold or hot or in many other popular ways. Also San Alberto offers you the possibility to see the coffee process since the picking of the red beans to the drying, roasting and grilling of this coffee of this same farm for the end have a experience with some of the best "catadores" to teach you how to distinguish a perfect cup of coffee.

This is one of the cofee places that owns their own cofee farm and sells it. The cofee is definitely an experience and some are prepared on your table. The view is magnificent. There is an offering of dessert to complement your cofee but very limited and not all may be available. This is not a restaurant just in case you're looking for a real meal.

Nice water park to visit if you're in the area but not worth a special trip. Good amount of big slides but quite a walk away from each other. Different types of animals are found throughout the property. Park does offer a transportation bus to travel the park. Good sized lockers available thru out the park but you need to buy your own lock which you can buy outside the park or within.

Excellent place to stay with your Family. There are many pools for both adults and children, wildlife, and restaurants. The weather and service are excellent. It's 15 minutes from the Colsubsidio Peñalisa Hotel, which is a very good hotel.

I enjoy my time at the park. It has clean facilities, beautiful views and nice swimming pools. The cons- customers had to go across heavy traffic to get to the entrance, customer service inside the facility is awful and a lot of females cleaning Male facilities while guys are using the facilities. Not privacy at all.

The piscilago acuatic park is a place where the people can enjoy several activities like see animals in the zoo that has the park, water slides, walking trails, lakes and restaurants. weekneds the park keep full for the many families that visited to rest and sunbathe.

Amazing place for family and friends there is a lot of walking but there is also a car that can take you to the different attractions

Here you can walk for hours and enjoy the pools. Now, to really have fun, you must dare to try the different slides. Highly recommended!

Too crowded, there's no organization for transport inside the park, so, you can go and take a shower in any pool with a lot of people or make like one hour per slide. It has a Zoo, that's pretty cool, if you like walking, that's a good plan in there.

Awesome theme park. If you really want to enjoy it, this have to be a full day run. On weekends it's really crowded, so try to get as early as you can. The best parts: the train, horse rides, no one smoking and lots of sunrays.

Great park to visit with family or friends. It’s stroller friendly, lots of activities for the kids, make sure they are tall enough for the rides. More than 90cm. Being extra clothes and shoes because there are water attractions that you can easily get soaked. Good sunscreen and hats for all.

Fantastic experience of nature, attractions, coffee flavors and culture, art, landscapes and of course Colombian warmth and hospitality. We had a great time, savored coffee like never before, danced and rejoiced at the folklore show, relaxed walking along the trails. It was a blast.

Amazing amazing experience. There is something for everyone, you can easily do everything in 1 day. By far one of the best folklore shows I have seen and like everyone says, you cannot miss it. The reviews do not lie.

Parque del Café in Quindío is a must-visit destination to enjoy with family or friends 🎢☕. It combines fun, coffee culture, and beautiful landscapes all in one place. The weather is warm, so it’s advisable to wear light clothing and stay hydrated 💧👒. Among its attractions are roller coasters, a cable car, and tours that highlight the history and tradition of Colombian coffee. A truly unique experience you shouldn’t miss!

We had a very fun day at the park. We’re 4 adults and we came for coffee but the park is so much more. It’s a cultural experience and there’s a lot of fun rides to do as well. I can recommend the coffee show, take a stroll in the bamboo park, ofcourse take the teleferico for beautiful views, the train is fun, all the water rides are fun but prepare to get absolutely soaked. The coffee museum in the beginning is a must and the sensory room at the end completes the whole thing. For food I can recommend the oriental place at the food mall near the tree boat ride. Although there are more options at the plaza bolivar (there’s even a Subway). Get your coffee at Juan Valdez or try a granizado. The horse ride is fun (and a complementary $15,000) but a bit boring. I would do it again though! We didn’t expect to spend almost all day here. It’s very fun for kids too and people of all ages. We didn’t try any of the thrill rides like the rollercoasters but they look like a lot of fun. There’s almost no lines to wait for the rides and there’s lockers near the water rides to keep your stuff safe and dry.

Great amusement park and great views of coffee plantations. The “coffee show” is a well performed act that takes you on a journey through the coffee regions of Colombia. Fairly priced well maintained.

We had a fantastic time as a family, and my little one absolutely loved it! It’s great that you can bring food and water inside—very convenient. The pig show was a delightful highlight, full of laughs! If I could make one suggestion, it would be to add more bathrooms along the way, especially for families with little ones who might find it tough to wait. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Lots of activities, mostly for the young ones, a variety of shows around the park (the negative point: the time schedule of those shows not always match your own). Be ready to walk, is huge. Take a hat or a cap with you, heat and humidity is massive there. The thing that you can't miss: El trapiche, where they sell cold "Mazamorra" with solid melasa.

It is a great park for kids, my kids (6 and 2) enjoyed every minute of it. They provide a kind of an off road stroller (12.000 COP) so you can carry your kid. The shows are great and they are scheduled so as to go with the tour, so you don't have to go around, just follow the path. The stand up comedy show is not as fun as you would think, since it is a couple arguing about everything. My recommendation is to try to go on weekdays so you can move around without problem. Restaurants are ok and not expensive, you can take fruits or small snacks and maybe a couple of water with you,

Okay place, a bit on the expensive side. I went on a weekday so it wasn't as busy but not as lively as expected. They have tons of farm animals and some shows. Expect to walk a lot.

PANACA: Where the cows are friendlier than your in-laws and the goats have more attitude than you. From the second we walked in, it was like National Geographic met Colombian farm life — but with snacks, laughter, and a whole lot of mooing. We fed animals, milked cows (spoiler: it's harder than it looks), and I’m pretty sure one goat tried to adopt me. The animal shows? ICONIC. I laughed, I cheered, I questioned my career choices. The views? Straight out of a telenovela. The air? So fresh I tried to bottle it. The food? Don’t even get me started — I left with a full belly and zero regrets (except maybe not wearing stretchy pants). Whether you're a kid, a grown-up pretending to be mature, or someone who just really wants to hug a donkey — PANACA is the place. 10/10 would let a llama photobomb me again. 🐐📸🇨🇴🔥

Many years ago there were more animal acrobatic shows. It might be due to animal protection laws. Now the small animal show is mostly just two people doing comedy. It's very good except that international tourists get a little lost if they don't speak Spanish.

Beautiful. The shows are especially beautiful. We went to all the afternoon shows which were spectacular. Our kids were enchanted. Also very large place so best to come in sporty and light clothing for all the walking. They have tours, which we didn't do but I am sure it would have made the experience better.

No restaurant was open on a weekday. I don't know how a business can survive working weekends only. The good part was that we're zero traffic...zero food

ITS A NATURE AND ADVENTURE PARADISE JUST 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF IBAGUE, TOTALLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WANT AN ADVENTURE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND WATERFALLS OR JUST CHILL WITH TE SOUND OF THE RIVER AND BIRDS SINGING

A wonderful place, full of trees, many species of birds.

The sweet nature surrounding the area make a pleasant time. Beautiful restaurants aswell.

Nice canyon, so much ecoturism, and restaurants

Such an incredibly beautiful place a must visit when you come to Colombia

Super plan!! 🗺️
