Main square located in the heart of the city , they have closed the streets for pedestrians to be able to walk freely around this area ... You can get here different kind of food such as ice cream , fruits ,chips and other street food. And if you are lucky you can spot the Galeras volcano from here
Many events are held in this area in pasto, when there aren't events it is quite disorganized, however, from here you can get transportation to the bus terminal and to the airport. Check the corners for taxis, you can ger ride share or private.
This is a great square for people watching. Watch out for the kids in electric toy cars, though - one of them ran over my foot! 😂
The main square of the City , there you have good sunsets and views from Galeras Volcano. The church close to this is so special inside.
They just laughed up the Christmas tree.
Plaza Nariño is THE central square in Pasto!

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of San Juan de Pasto has more than 400 years of history. It is one block from another important temple. Its Romanesque style combines the art of different Latin artists who did their part to create it. An example of how preaching with a sword and not with love can also lead to beautiful things. Look up "the black Christmas" and you will understand. (Original) La Catedral de San Juan de Pasto tiene más de 400 años de historia. Esta a una cuadra de otro templo importante. Su estilo románico combina el arte de diferentes artistas latinos que pusieron de su parte para crearla.

Slide 1 of 8
A stunning, meticulously preserved house museum, where every room tells a unique story. It was acquired and restored by prominent figures who dedicated it to the educational and cultural enrichment of the city of Pasto. The museum is exceptionally well-maintained and thoughtfully guided by Sonia, who patiently led us through its spaces, sharing fascinating insights into the many elements of profound historical and cultural significance housed within its walls.
I went here on a Monday afternoon about 3:00 p.m. Currently, the admission costs 5,000 pesos and includes a guided tour. You are not allowed to walk around the museum by yourself. The tour was fairly interesting and took about 1 hour... Note that the tour is all in Spanish.
Beautiful place with a lot of history inside. Should visit, free entrance with a tourist guide.
Interesting history. Beautiful building.
A visit you must do! Specially in Carnaval de Negros y Blancos! With the "Festival de Artesanías". There are amazing collection of handcrafted pieces of art! Splendid food from the region! Wow!
Beautiful craftsmanship! Amazing details, but overpriced products sadly. Overall an incredible experience! The food was delightful.
It's a museum born from a private initiative to save the colonial houses remaining in Pasto. The place has now been transformed into a traditional equatorian museum and you get a private visit for 3$. Really interesting and worth it!
A small but very good exhibition of early Colombian artisanry. Cheap guided tour, won't take long, and worth the time.

An interesting museum, especially for those who do not experience the Carnival. The history through the years in English and Spanish.
It is located on a former slaughterhouse. The colours of the figures and their sheer size surprised me. I wish there were detailed descriptions about the big ones. The smaller carved sculptures show great skill and their creator is a recognized figure in the city.
A place full of many culture, culture Pastos and Kichwa. A great fine arts perfomance, Pasto is one of the most cultural cities in Colombia, in special for the traditions of this place and Blancos Y Negros Carnival, in the countryside people talk in Kichwa because Pasto is so near of the border with Ecuador. By other side the great Galeras Volcano is a great touristic place for people, I LOVE THIS AWESOME PLACE
Amazing little museum, perhaps the most colourful place on earth!
I love this place. Is as colorful as the carnival. Easy to walk through, good parking lot and it's for free. Should visit.
Only a few rooms but it gives a good impression of the artistic work going into creating the Carnaval floats. A quick visit with parking in the courtyard.
Really neat way to see some of the history of the black y white festival in Pasto. Some of the previously winners of the float contests are displayed in this museum. They really are neat to see and the museum is free.
Nice place, I like it because it has the historical record of several art pieces made for the carnival in different years, it also has a time line to show how the carnival has been evolving.

Small but fine and pedagogic collection of ancient craftwork, jewels etc. with instructive explanation. The temporary exhibitions are also worthwhile .
More than amazing. Very organized, lighting is perfect. It is so beautiful. There is a guide and the entrance is free.
Always a great place to visit. Free access!
The only reason why I visited the gold museum was because you get a free ticket whenever you do a free walking tour. The gold museum is near to the starting place of the walking tour. It’s in a building on one of the top floors so you can get a good view of the city. The museum was really good just a bit small, they even had a stimulation of gold production in the past. At the end of the tour, you can buy gold and different stones.
This museum is very good though it is missed. Though they do have a few gold pieces on display, their highlight artifacts are ceramic. We recommend those interested in ancient cultures take the time to visit.
Only opens at 10am and free entrance! I was lucky to start when the guide was waiting for a decent group to form, I learned a lot about southern colombian culture and history. I would highly recommend!
Informative, well thought out exhibits on regional indigenous peoples history and culture.
Super interesting definitely worth a visit. Amazing artefacts

(Translated by Google) In the Mariano Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy, on January 2nd (2nd) the Offering of Flowers and Products of the Earth to the Virgin of Las Mercedes "Ofrenda a la Michita Linda" is celebrated as part of the beginning of the Carnival of Blacks and Whites of Pasto. Since 1756, the inhabitants of the municipality of Pasto have recognized the Virgin of La Merced as "Governor of Pasto" after, in the same year, the city council made a promise to celebrate the patron saint festivities in honor of the Virgin every September 23 and 24 after having implored his divine protection against the threats of the Galeras volcano that is located in the geographical territory of the same city. The Carnival of Blacks and Whites of Pasto, which has its origin on January 6, 1912 with the "whitey party", united with the "black party", which dates back to 1607 for the day off granted to black slaves by the Spanish crown and institutionalized in 1926 with the celebration by the students of the city's college and the election of the first Carnival queen, Romelia Martinez. For some decades now, the Carnival of Blacks and Whites of Pasto has begun with pre-carnival activities and especially with the "Offering to Michita Linda" which consists of an offering of flowers and fruits of the land, by the authorities of the 17 townships in which the rural area of ​​the municipality of Pasto is organized, politically and geographically, accompanied by civil and military authorities of the municipality and the government of the department of Nariño. This offering represents a cultural expression of ancestral Catholic and local indigenous religious syncretism. Each township makes its offering of flowers and fruits of the land with its corregidor in the company of people who carry the offering and a banner with the name of each township. Likewise, the mayor of Pasto, the Governor of Nariño, the police commander, the executive director of Corpocarnval and the carnival queen and other civil and military authorities. All offenses are presented before the Virgin of Mercy and delivered to the ecclesiastical authorities headed by the Bishop of Pasto. Finally, a Carnival Choreographic Collective of Blacks and Whites from Pasto enters as a musical and dance cultural manifestation. After the offerings, the ecclesiastical celebration begins and the beginning and completion of the Carnival of Blacks and Whites of Pasto is blessed. (Original) En el Santiario Mariano de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, el dos (2) de enero se celebra la Ofrenda de las Flores y Productos de la Tierra a la Vigen de Las Mercedes "Ofrenda a la Michita Linda" como parte del inicio del Carnaval de Negros y Blancos de Pasto. Desde 1.756, los habitantes del municipio de Pasto, reconocen a la Virgen de La Merced como "Gobernadora de Pasto" luego que, en el mismo año, el Cabildo de la ciudad hiciera la promesa de celebrar las fiestas patronales en honor a la Virgen cada 23 y 24 de septiembre después de haber implorado su protección divina frente a las amenazas del volcán Galeras que se ubica en territorio geográfico de la misma ciudad. El Carnaval de Negros y Blancos de Pasto, que tiene su origen un 6 de enero de 1.912 con la "fiesta de blanquitos", unida a la "fiesta de negritos", que data desde 1.607 por el día se asueto concedido a los negros esclavos por la corona española e institucionalizado en 1.926 con la celebracion por parte de los estudiantes del colegio mayor de la ciudad y la elección de la primera reina del Carnaval, Romelia Martínez. Desde hace algunas décadas, el Carnaval de Negros y Blancos de Pasto, inicia con actividades de pre-carnaval y en especial, con la "Ofrenda a la Michita Linda" que consiste en una ofrenda floral y de frutos de la tierra, por parte de las autoridades de los 17 corregimientos en que se organiza, política y geográficamente la zona rural del municipio de Pasto, acompañadas por autoridades civiles y militares del municipio y la gobernación del departamento de Nariño. Es ofrenda representa una expresión cultural del sincretismo religioso católico y local indígena ancestral. Cada corregimiento hace su ofrenda de flores y frutos de la tierra con su corregidor(a) en compañía de personas que portan la ofrenda y un estandarte con el nombre de cada corregimiento. De igual forma, el alcalde de Pasto, el Gobernador de Nariño, el comandante de la policía, el director ejecutivo de Corpocarnval y la reina del carnaval y demás autoridades civiles y militares. Todas las ofendas se presentan ante la Virgen de la Merced y entregan a las autoridades eclesiásticas encabezadas por el señor Obispo de Pasto. Por último, ingresa un Colectivo Coreográfico de Carnaval de Negros y Blancos de Pasto como manifestación cultural musical y dancística. Luego de las ofrendas, se inicia la celebración eclesiástica y en ella se bendice el inicio y la realización el Carnaval de Negros y Blancos de Pasto.
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church, especially at night when you can see it illuminated in different colors. In Pasto the majority of people are very devout so you will always see the churches with many people. (Original) Una iglesia muy hermosa, en especial de noche que puedes verla iluminada de diferentes colores. En Pasto la mayoría de personas son muy devotas por lo que siempre veras las iglesias con mucha gente.
(Translated by Google) The Temple of La Merced was built in Pasto at the beginning of the 17th century with the arrival of the Mercedarian Fathers with the conquerors, and they instilled devotion to the Virgin of Las Mercedes as “Patroness and Captain” of the city. Later, since 1756, the festival is celebrated in his honor every September 24. The image of the Virgin is Spanish, she arrived in Pasto during the reign of Charles V. Her crown was made of gold and precious stones in the hands of Ecuadorian artists, she carries the baton of command of the royalist colonel Basilio García who fought against the liberator Simón Bolívar in the Battle of Bombona. However, the original sculpture burned in a fire caused by candles left by parishioners, which is why the current sculpture is an exact replica of the original. The earthquake of 1834 caused serious damage to the city, which is why several temples had to be rebuilt, including the work of La Merced in 1916. The Sanctuary of La Merced has been classified as a heritage jewel of Pasto. Its structure and decoration correspond to colonial art with a classic romantic style from the 12th century. It is made up of three naves and a transept, which together give the shape of a cross. This temple is distinguished by the solidity of its columns, inside you can see Corinthian capitals, cornices and wood carvings and of course the altar next to the presbytery wall where the Virgin of La Merced poses. On a lectern the church preserves the sculpture of the baby Jesus burned during the fire that also damaged the sculpture of the Virgin. The church has a very outstanding work in the world, it is a spiral-shaped wooden staircase known as “the eye staircase.” This work carried out by the master Lucindo Espinosa is of great admiration because its structure does not have an axis of adherence, it is said that there are only three in the world of his style. You will be able to visit one of the most visited temples in the city of San Juan de Pasto, there you will live the experience of appreciating a beautiful architectural work, in addition to its religious art. TAKEN FROM: SITUR NARIÑO (2020) (Original) El Templo de La Merced se construyó en Pasto a principios del siglo XVII con la llegada de los Padres Mercedarios junto a los conquistadores, e infundieron la devoción a la Virgen de Las Mercedes como “Patrona y Capitana” de la ciudad. Más tarde, desde 1756 cada 24 de septiembre se celebra la fiesta en su honor. La imagen de la Virgen es española, llegó a Pasto durante el reinado de Carlos V. Su corona fue elaborada en oro y piedras preciosas en manos de artistas ecuatorianos, porta el bastón de mando del coronel realista Basilio García quien luchó contra el libertador Simón Bolívar en la Batalla de Bombona. Sin embargo, la escultura original se quemó en un incendio causado por las veladoras que dejaban los feligreses, por lo cual la actual escultura es una réplica exacta de la original. El terremoto de 1834 causó graves daños en la ciudad, por lo cual se tuvieron que reconstruir varios templos, entre ellos la obra de La Merced en 1916. El Santuario de La Merced se ha catalogado como joya patrimonial de Pasto. Su estructura y decoración corresponden al arte colonial con estilo romántico clásico del siglo XII. La conforman tres naves y un crucero, que en conjunto dan la forma de cruz. Este templo se distingue por solidez en sus columnas, en su interior se pueden apreciar capiteles de corintios, cornisas y tallas en madera y por supuesto el altar junto al muro del presbiterio donde posa la Virgen de La Merced. En un atril la iglesia conserva la escultura del niño Jesús quemado durante el incendio que deterioró también la escultura de la Virgen. La iglesia posee una obra muy destacada en el mundo, se trata de una escalera de madera en forma de caracol conocida como “la escalera de ojo”. Esta obra realizada por el maestro Lucindo Espinosa es de gran admiración porque su estructura no posee un eje de adherencia, se dice que sólo existen tres en el mundo de su estilo. Podrás conocer uno de los templos más visitados de la ciudad de San Juan de Pasto, ahí vivirás la experiencia de apreciar una bella obra arquitectónica, además de su arte religioso. TOMADO DE: SITUR NARIÑO (2020)

Located on the north side of Pasto - Colombia. They offered a large free parking area. Although I didn’t have the opportunity to walk around the entire shopping mall, it looks very nice and modern. I saw restaurants, coffee shops, banks, clothing stores, etc. Nice ambience and easy to navigate around.
So far so good. Not too crowded on ordinary days and the place is clean
Pasto Unicentro Mall, also known as Centro Comercial Unicentro Pasto, is a vibrant shopping destination that caters to the diverse needs and preferences of its visitors. Conveniently located in the heart of Pasto, this mall offers a wide variety of retail stores, ranging from popular international brands to local boutiques, ensuring that shoppers can find everything they need under one roof.

Love this place, specialy Azucar.
I love this mall. Lots of shops, and good food. Nice parking lot and easy access. Must ve visited
I had many more expectations to the mall, but sadly it didn't meet most of them. You will find many stores to buy in, but the very well-known ones are not present here. You will find most things you need, but it still lacks stuff.
I have been there a couple of occasions and I love the rhythm of the city, it doesn't stop. The city is crowded so this gives a constant sensation of movement making the city quite exciting. The people there are nice and kind, like when I wanted to find a place where I could buy a phone, I asked someone by the street and immediately gave me some locations and places where I could buy the phone, like ALKOSTO or Unicentro mall, even small shops that for him were trustworthy. Pasto also has wonderful places to visit, like the religious architecture that mixed with the modernity that the city offers, gives the normal tourist an interesting view of conserving the past with the actual progress. But one building that stands above all must be Teatro Imperial de la Universidad de Nariño, it's huge and its elegance and superb decorations give it a unique beauty. In regards to prices and expenses, Pasto is a forgiving city because you don't need a lot of money to buy stuff for yourself and that is very much appreciated, especially when you visit a city for the first time.
Great place for shopping

(Translated by Google) In the old town of Pasto and home of the Capuchin convent; The sad Black Christmas of the independence era took place here. Inside it is beautiful, and here you can find an image of the Divina Pastora (information if you are a visitor to Venezuela and very specifically to Barquisimeto). In front there is a beautiful square. Another fact is that the church is well above the regular height of Pasto. (Original) En pleno casco antiguo de Pasto y hogar del convento de los Capuchinos; aqui tuvo lugar la triste Navidad Negra de la época independentista.

Frente allí se encuentra una lindisima plaza. Otro dato es que la iglesia está muy por encima de la altura regular de Pasto.
(Translated by Google) It would be great if they cleaned the church atrium, because its beauty is overshadowed by the pigeon manure, so you have to move carefully and quickly to avoid accidents with the manure. Another recommendation is to maintain the interior of the church... on the other hand, the religious relics are beautiful, it is peaceful to enter the church. Greetings of Peace and Good (Original) Sería buenísimo que limpien el atrio de la iglesia, porque su belleza se ve opacada con el estiércol de las palomas, toca transitar con cuidado y rápido para evitar accidentes con el estiércol. Otra recomendación que le hagan mantenimiento al interior de la iglesia.. por otro lado, las reliquias religiosas son hermosas, da paz entrar a la iglesia. Saludos de Paz y Bien
