(Translated by Google) I had the pleasure of visiting this museum on a Friday afternoon and it was a wonderful experience with David who was in charge of the tour, he is a very nice and above all cultured person. All sections of the museum have extremely careful and precisely selected pieces, such as: colonial art, temporary exhibitions and the section of the original cultures of our country that was curated by the eminence of the anthropologist and curator Estelina Cotacachi. It is an extraordinary tour that is worth visiting in the white city! (Original) Tuve el placer de visitar este museo un día viernes por la tarde y fue una experiencia maravillosa de la mano de David quien fue el encargado del recorrido, es una persona muy agradable y sobre todo culto.

(Translated by Google) A museum that stands out for its traditional architecture, in addition to its archaeological pieces that date back to pre-Columbian times. I really liked its organization, as there are frequently exhibitions of pictorial samples from both renowned and emerging artists. I had the opportunity to attend a mask exhibition called "Dualities" and I was really surprised by the works presented. This, in addition to the event for Women's Day "Human Susceptibilities", where works that enhance the creative spirit of plastic and visual artists were presented. (Original) Un museo que destaca por su arquitectura tradicional, además de sus piezas arqueológicas que datan de la época precolombina.

Esto, además del evento por el Día de la Mujer "Susceptibilidades Humanas", donde se presentaron trabajos que realzan el espíritu creativo de las artistas plásticas y visuales.
(Translated by Google) I like it a lot, but I think initiative is needed to have more exhibitions, there are very few, otherwise it is a cozy place (Original) Me gusta mucho, pero creo que hace falta iniciativa para hacer mas exposiciones, hay muy pocas, en lo demás es un lugar acogedor

Restaurant chain known for its buckets of fried chicken, plus combo meals & sides.
Slide 1 of 8
It's an excellent place to have fast food. The service is good and they give you the order very fast. Also, the place has been enlarged, so there's more space now.
I have had a KFC Twister before (in Peru) and I remember it tasting a lot better than this one. Also, it took about 15 minutes for me to get my food after I ordered it, which seems like a long time to wait for "fast" food. The employees are friendly here.
Attended early Dec 2023. Food was excellent, service was good but not as welcoming and friendly as the other location in Ibarra, but still better than I get at my local KFC in Canada.
When travelling and in need for a quick bite..
Great fried chicken 🍗
Good place to eat the classic KFC
Always a good option

Shopping mall
Shopping
Slide 1 of 8
The only large supermarket that carries a lot of variety when it comes to international ingredients. Generally fast checkout, they take credit cards. They provide assistants with carts to help carry your groceries to your car at zero cost. But you can tip them if you like.
I do most of my shopping at La Plaza Shopping Center. Fybeca, KyWi, SuperMaxi, Banco Guayaquil, Claro, the Food Court (Patio de Comidas) and other shops. I wish they had a copy center, otherwise La Plaza is 4.5 stars!
It's always clean. Public bathrooms are always clean. Variety of shops and places to eat. There's two coffee shops to chose from. Super maxi. Eyeglass places. Pharmacy...etc...etc...
Good thing to buy, specific and exported things can you find there. Good quality
They are well organized, many stores check your temperature before entering, and there are even workers outside willing to lend you a hand with anything.
Ice cream and cake!!! Section food has a good variety. Hardware store, pharmacy and supermarket have a very good stock!!! Parking space is sometimes not enough
It is small and crowded. It is a good place since there are Supermaxi, Juguetón, Marathon, but there are no cinema or Play Zone. It must be expanded with more floors and services.
The shopping center has several banks, a supermaxi, Claro and MoviStar offices and a great ice cream shop. There are small clothing boutiques located within the mall and two optometry clinics for eyeglasses. There is a large toy store and a Super Paco for office supplies including printers and computers. There is also a food court with a good selection of food. There is also a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and a pizza restaurant within the shopping center.

(Translated by Google) The times I have attended this dermatology office it has gone wonderfully, the diagnoses have been very accurate and the treatments have been 100% effective, the attention is very pleasant and empathetic. Super recommended. (Original) Las veces que he asistido a este consultorio de dermatología me ha ido de maravilla, los diagnósticos han sido muy acertados y los tratamientos han sido 100% efectivos, la atención es muy agradable y empática. Super recomendados.
(Translated by Google) I didn't feel comfortable with the first appointment, the lady (I don't know if she was a pseudo-dermatologist) doesn't have the best care, the place didn't look like an office, it looked very untidy, messy, the lady didn't even put on a robe, I asked him for a record that I attended the appointment and he told me that he doesn't have anything to give me, I tell him to give me the treatment that I have to do on those days and he takes out a piece of paper and tells me “what should I put in it”? That's not what a professional does. I hope the lady improves her service and the place is more pleasant with the correct asepsis. Also, NEVER in my life have they asked me for a photo to be able to schedule an appointment, I had something close to my intimate area and obviously I didn't feel comfortable sending photos and I told him that but he said that without the photo I couldn't schedule the appointment... what nonsense Don't go! There are better dermatologist professionals. (Original) No me sentí cómoda con la primera cita, la señora (no se si pseudo dermatóloga) no tiene la mejor atención que se diga, el lugar no parecía un consultorio, se veía muy desaseado, desordenado, ni siquiera una bata se puso la señora, le pedí un registro de que asistí a la cita y me dice que no tiene en qué darme, le digo que me de el tratamiento que tengo que hacerme en esos días y saca un papel y me dice “que le pongo”? Eso no hace un profesional. Espero la señora mejore su atención y el lugar sea más agradable con la asepsia correcta. Además, JAMÁS en mi vida me han pedido una foto para poder agendar una cita, tenía algo cerca de la zona intima y obviamente no me sentía comoda mandando fotos y le dije eso pero dijo que sin la foto no podía agendar la cita... que tontería. No vayan! hay mejores profesionales dermatólogos.
(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the service and care I received at this dermatology location. The staff was very friendly and professional, and the doctor explained everything to me clearly and patiently. He gave me an accurate diagnosis and prescribed an effective treatment for my skin problem. The results were noticeable in a short time and I am very happy with my appearance. I recommend this dermatology place to everyone looking for a solution to their dermatological problems. (Original) Estoy muy satisfecho con el servicio y la atención que recibí en este lugar de dermatología. El personal fue muy amable y profesional, y la doctora me explicó todo con claridad y paciencia. Me hizo un diagnóstico acertado y me recetó un tratamiento efectivo para mi problema de piel. Los resultados se notaron en poco tiempo y estoy muy contento con mi aspecto. Recomiendo este lugar de dermatología a todos los que busquen una solución para sus problemas dermatológicos.
(Translated by Google) They carry out clinical dermatological consultations as if they were doctors, and prescribe without having a scientific basis. It would be advisable that they stick to what their title allows them. Greetings (Original) Realizan consultas dermatológicas clínicas como si fueran médicos, y recetan sin tener una base científica. Sería recomendable que se rigan a lo que su título les permite. Saludos
(Translated by Google) It seems to me that the place is very comfortable for each patient, in the same way each service is personalized and according to the age of each person. They are very friendly. 10/10 (Original) Me parece que el lugar es muy confortable para cada paciente, de igual manera cada servicio es personalizado y de acuerdo a la edad de cada persona.
