Parque Sucre

(5339)
Park
Parque Sucre is a lively square with an ornate neoclassical building and a Neptune fountain. It is part of a trio of popular parks including Parque 21 de Abril and Parque Guayaquil, all featuring well-designed gardens and fountains. Parque Guayaquil even has a lake with rowboats for public enjoyment. The open space is adorned with greenery, beautiful fountains, and surrounded by old buildings.
Trip to Chimborazo was excellent! Or guide, Fausto, was excellent. He was very nice, spoke great English (and French) and he was unbelievable friendly. Probably the most memorable post of our trip!

Nice building. But be careful I was robbed. A there is no one police around here.
It's a nice place to chill with seats, small vendors, pigeons, and a view of the architecture around.
A small city park.
Pretty nice square for having a seat and enjoy
Nice open space with greenery. Beautiful fountain and some old buildings surrounding it. You can get anything you want of street vendors and your shoes will be polished at the same time. Good place to sit and relax
Nice traditional square
Thks central square had a good bit too offer. During holidays they setup festivities in the park. A number of vendors- Both food and product congregate are the square. A very safe area in my experience.

Ir you feel like trying out some tradicional Ecuadorian food you won’t be disappointed! Great so have some Hornado (roasted pork)
Oscar B — Google review
Pro: This is a great place to visit is a good representation of the Ecuadorian culture with the main products Fruit juice with Esther and Ice of the Chimborazo, test great, and after the delicious Hornado or Roasted pork.
Cons: Be really careful when you buy the Hornado, when somebody enter in the Hornado place start a really theatrical offering of Hornado test sample if you accept one be ready to be deceived if they think you are not Local, or tourist. Because first if you ask they will be offer a really overpriced and not full product , please look around and compare the quantity there are offering you for such overpriced product, if you look a difference claim immediately for a fair Hornado amount, because some people here are not honest, Happened to me I recuest a 5 dollar product and received a half portion on comparation the another locks like local Who recuest a 2.5 dollar portion.
What's happened with this, I am already living here for 2 months and will not comeback to the Merced Market, I will look for another place to eat Hornado and of course the honest people working on here will be lost credibility, and of course customers, because a lot of people like me show Merced Market as a just One visit place.
It's a small market with lots of restaurants. The food is nice but they sell quite aggressively. Haha
Unfortunately, this is not the same place I knew few years ago. It's a kind of scary go to this place... The prices are very high and the dishes are not delicious anymore... So, be careful, before order, establish the real cost for the meal you are asking for....
Terrible place.
Only one type of (disgusting) roasted pork (literraly 20 sellers sell the same thing), and they cheated us on the price twice :
They first announce a price, and then raise it of 50 cents when you have to pay after the meal).
Don't go there
Very interesting experience. Pig or Hornados en espanol is the main dish but I was happy to find a juice stand among all the cooked pigs and enjoyed some celery juice with pineapples.
A place where you can eat some of the traditional plates in Riobamba call Hornados, but is a noisy place you will find the experience very interesting, but for me the best hornados are in Valle de los Chillos the restaurant is call Dieguitos.
The market of La Merced is a very typical place of riobamba with a personality of its own in which they make a pork know in Riobamba as "Hornado" very delicious. They also prepared natural fruit juice with ice from Chimborazo volcano. If you are lucky you can find a volcanic stone in your natural fruit juice!.

Great park to visit Surrounding with really beautiful architecture, as the Riobamba Catedral, the City museum and the Major Building.
Not much shade, a bland park in the middle of town. Other cities parks are much nicer.
A lovely place to take a stroll in riobamba. Lots of old beautiful buildings to see
Historical and architectural place. I love it!!!
Nice place if your just walking around
It's a nice enough park to visit and relax. You can bring something to eat and just enjoy the location. There are also many things to see around the area. It is nothing special but it is still nice enough.
Very nice, clean square to visit with a beautiful church face of carved stone. Well worth a stroll and some pictures

Park
Outdoor activity organiser
Parque 21 De Abril is a must-visit in Riobamba, especially on Saturdays when the bustling market takes over the streets. The variety of products available is impressive, from livestock to artisan crafts. Even if you can't make it on a Saturday, there are smaller markets throughout the week offering fresh produce and local goods. For stunning panoramic views of Riobamba and its surrounding volcanoes, head to the hilltop where the park is located.
Nice park, good view over Riobamba
TM — Google review
A nice spot in an otherwise pretty dismal city. Good views of El Altar volcano and the mural was one of the nicer we have seen in Ecuador. Seems to be a bit of a lovers park as eager couples were cuddled up thru out the park. Bit trashy but still quite pleasant.
Garbage and It was dirty at some places. There are no security in the park (and in the city). A lot of shady people, small city with a strange vibe. Be careful.
The park is raised just above the surrounding city so there are great views in all directions, including towards Chimborazo. I agree it doesn't feel very safe with a camera as there are very few people around even on a Sunday morning except for an occasional loitering man. Below the park towards the church there were market stalls and more activity.
Now this is the park that really need some love and maintenance. From this park you can really get some great view of Chimborazo and Volcano Tungurahua in the background of the beautiful church.
The best view of the volcanoes around
It's a nice view, it's the highest place on the city, but a little lonely place.... it's better if you go with friends
It's a really peaceful park, I climbed a tree and stayed a really long time there

Parque Guayaquil

Park
Parque Guayaquil, also known as Parque Abril de 21, is a hilltop park in Riobamba offering stunning views of the surrounding volcanoes. It's easily accessible by bus from Quito and Guayaquil. The park features a children's playground, colorful artwork and statues, and even a water park. While it's a great place for families to spend time during sunny days, caution is advised at night or during rainy weather due to safety concerns.
My girlfriend and I visited the park on our second evening in Riobama. The park is big and was clean during our visit. There was an national election scheduled the next day so the mood was festive. There were rides for kids and boy scouts at the band stand. There is even a water park in the park. We loved the artwork and statues that were quite colorful.

Is a great and Beautiful park, Called Parke Infantil. Unfortunately after somany years, I can see how bad become due the lack of maintenance, the great Small lake, become empty, with out the Magic of its colour lights, and no place for rent boats
This time was at 7 am and be surprised because this park was full of people making exercise, dancing. Really great and amazing to see people of all ages looking to be fit and healthy.
A small city park overlooking the old city.
Good place for spend time with family but only while it's sunny because it's a bit dangerous at nights and while it's raining you won't find a safe place
It's a large park located uptown. It has plenty of green areas and spaces for children to enjoy themselves.
Park located in the center of Riobamba city, around it there is a Supermarket, restaurants, bars and the city's Olympic Stadium, occasionally events or concerts are presented in its outdoor setting.
If you are planning to go to Ecuador, go to Riobamba, beautiful city, friendly people a lot of things to do
Crowdy and very dirty, take your children somewhere else to be quiet

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Nestled just north of the serene Laguna de Colta, the Primera Iglesia Católica del Ecuador, also known as María Natividad de Balbanera, holds a special place in history as the first Catholic church established in Ecuador back on August 15, 1534. This modest yet charming church features an altar crafted from large stones and is adorned with vibrant flowers surrounding a small statue of Mary.
Just north of the Laguna de Colta stands the first catholic church of Ecuador, founded by the conquistadores on august 15, 1534. The very simple church has an altar built from large stones where a sea of flowers always adorns a small Mary statue. In clear weather, the beautiful white peak of the Chimborazo can be seen from here. It is certainly worth pausing your trip here.
Koen — Google review
It’s a pretty church on the route. History is always worth visiting.
It's a very nice place for someone interested in Religious and historical monuments. The souvenir store has plenty of options, including some beers! We got bracelets, the design has been worked. It's the best opportunity to give a pray, you can get candles right outside, at the entrance.
Consider it was built in 1543 and only the face had a little bit of work this building is amazing.
Filled with history. Built by hand in 1534. Upon entering you feel an indescribable feeling of peace. I became very emotional as I lit a candle for my mom.😥
Visit greatly helped by talk (in Spanish) by staff member in the museum. Symbolism of angels and volcano shapes highlighted in this unassuming historic church.
A historic and humble church. Worth seeing if only for the roofing structure.
Ecuador's first church, build in 1534. When driving towards Baños de Agua Santa, take the time to check it out, and get a great cup of coffee at the cafeteria!

(Translated by Google) Well, what I tried were the lunches. They have excellent seasoning, an affordable price, a good atmosphere, the place is large and they play ambient music at a low volume so that everyone can hear each other.
I think the only thing that fails a little is the attention, I think that when they treat you kindly and with a smile the food is better enjoyed, it is the only recommendation I could make.
Also, I think they should be open to having a more varied clientele, because people in wheelchairs cannot access the place.
Now most places are pet friendly because pets have become part of the family, they should also take that into account. (Clearly, always taking care that pets are not going to be dangerous)
(Original)
Bueno, lo que yo probé fueron los almuerzos. Tienen una excelente sazón, un precio accesible, un buen ambiente, en lugar es grande y ponen música ambientada en un volumen bajo para que todos se puedan escuchar unos a otros.
Creo que lo único que falla un poco es la atención, creo que cuando te tratan amablemente y con una sonrisa la comida se disfruta mejor, es la única recomendación que podría hacer.
También, creo que deberían estar abiertos a tener una clientela más variada, porque personas en sillas de ruedas no pueden acceder al lugar.
Ahora la mayoría de lugares son pet friendly porque las mascotas se han vuelto parte de la familia, eso también deberían de tomar en cuenta. (Claramente, siempre teniendo cuidado con que las mascotas no vayan a ser peligrosas)

(Translated by Google) I tend to see the glass half full instead of half empty, but in this case I went with the family and the service left a lot to be desired, as did the pizza I ordered. In favor of it, its facilities and atmosphere are spectacular, but in relation to the service and quality (at least of its pizzas) it needs to improve a lot.

Incredible sandwiches! One of best flavor filled sandwiches in all of Ecuador! BBQ sandwich 10/10 pepperoni pizza 10/10.
Superb chicken sandwiches. Pizza good enough, 1/2 to 2/3 Pizza per person. Good espresso, cappuccino could be stronger. Nice staff, music varies. Good location with nice views. For when you have seen enough brightly white light restaurants. Value for money.
Food is good and the coffee is good as well. Portions are generous. Ambience and service is just ok. My main concern is the price. In my opinion, $6,5 for a crèpe is too much for the Riobamba market.
Pizza is good. It takes a while to get your order though.
Outstanding genuine-Neapolitan style pizza from two tiny ovens. It may take time, but it's worth it. If you haven't had Neapolitan style pizza, the crust is much lighter, more delicate, and easier to digest.
Best food I’ve had in Ecuador by far.
I had only salty crepe. Taste was nice, but porcion was a bit small. It is rather for snack than proper food. They have very nice ice tea... I have to change my opinion. We went there also for breakfast and crepe with egg was very nice. I really recommend it!

I have traveled extensively in South America for over 6 months, and I can confidently say that Al Tiesto Kitchen & Grills offers the most exceptional dining experience. The shrimp soup and Ecuadorian filette dusted with quinoa were incredibly delicious and generously portioned. The service was outstanding, with the chef and owner, Luigi, personally coming out to engage in conversation. Luigi's extensive training in NYC and his experiences living in various countries lend a unique flavor to his dishes.
Tasty and fresh food prepared for you from scratch. The chef is second to none, has traveled the world, and is very engaging in a conversation. If you have a chance, introduce yourself and ask how many countries he has visited!
The food is prepared fresh, so expect a wait.

Maybe the best restaurant in Riobamba. The restaurant is at a different location than a year ago. It's on the panamerican highway in the north of Riobamba.
My wife, Lynn, and I stopped here for lunch today and are we glad we did. We were greeted warmly by the owner/chef and shown to a nice table by the window. After perusing the menu we ordered two exceptional dishes. Lynn had steak roasted on stone and I had the seafood casserole. Both dishes were nicely presented. The service was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant when in Riobamba.
We have been traveling in South America for more than 6 months, this was the best meal we have had since starting the trip. We split the sopa de camarones (shrimp soup) and corvina aplanada con quinua (Ecuadorian filette dusted with quinoa). So delicious and the portions were generous. Service was great. The chef and owner, Luigi, came out to talk with us. He was trained in NYC and has lived in many other countries, so his food has the taste of many different places. The restaurant doesn't look fancy but the food is the best!
The food did take some time before it came out but it was nothing crazy and it absolutely was worth the wait. Meat was cooked perfectly and they were good portions. Would definitely recommend!
This restaurant could be a surprise or a fiasco depends on how lucky you are.
Lets begin with the facilities: a kind of castle under expansion - construction at the moment. It is big but w/ few parking lots.
Food: Arrived late for lunch, hungry for a salad and something else but they didn't have any salad available.
I have a very sensitive stomach to sauces and spice so I needed to ask the sauce serve apart. One of the waiters told me that the chef was a little bit stubborn and doesn't like to serve dishes w/o sauces.
Asked for the first salad it my choice: order accepted. 5 minutes later waiter said it wasn't available. Same think happened w/ other choices.
My sense tells me that the chef simply denied to serve us any salad because of my initial request.
Finally we order : 1 sprite, 1 beer one fish croquette (very good in taste w/ a kind of Asian ginger sauce) . Total : $12.62
Service definitely could improve.
☆☆ Prices high for local standard☆☆ try hotels nearby.
Delicious food, fine quality, excellent service. Highly recommended! Enjoyed this place so much.
Here again! Very delicious food! We will come back for sure!
Extremely expensive. Paella for two barely feeds one. Not enough rice limited amounts of chicken. Seafood shrimp look great but are served with the whole shell and head still on. Taste great but very little food. We would not go there again which is probably why we were the only table there at 7:30pm.

Beautiful landscape and not yet overrun by tourist. We visited the park with a local guide from Alausí and came by car to take a walk at the beautiful lakes. The view of the mountains was breathtaking and the calmness of the place was amazing. Be sure to bring lunch so you can strengthen yourself after the hike but take your trash with you :)
Beautiful but heavy walk to El Refugio. Expect lots of mud on a narrow path after heavy rain. The refugio is primitive but has a magnificient view at the area.
What a wonderful place! The park is beautiful with its lakes, the indigenous people, the animals and especially the tranquility. It is nice to relax in the "beach" directly at the lake and enjoy the view and the sun (when it's shining). It is not so crowded and very clean as well. A special place with a wonderful atmosphere! I would always visit the park again when I'm close by!
This national park and volcano are so worth the effort to visit. The views are great. I found the sulfur deposits to be interesting.

With its outstanding natural beauty and two active volcanoes, the park illustrates the entire spectrum of ecosystems, ranging from tropical rainforests to glaciers, with striking contrasts between the snowcapped peaks and the forests of the plains. Its isolation has encouraged the survival of indigenous species such as the mountain tapir and the Andean condor.

On the northeast side of the Parque Pedro Vicente Maldonado is the catedral de San Pedro de Riobamba, the main church of the diocese of the same name. This Roman Catholic church with its simply designed interior is mainly notable for its Baroque facade, decorated with many medallions. After the old cathedral was destroyed in 1797 by the most severe earthquake in Ecuadorian history (8.3 on the Richter Scale), the current church was built between 1810 and 1835. The cathedral, especially the facade, is one of the finest examples of Plateresque architecture and with a mix of indigenous and colonial elements.
It's not ornate on the inside as other cathedrals in Ecuador, but it does serve it's purpose as a place of worship
Marvelous contrast among antique and modern
Amen
(Translated by Google) The façade of the Cathedral Church is a historical relic, it was rescued from the rubble of the old Riobamba destroyed in the earthquake of 1797, and was moved stone after stone from Sicalpa, place of the Old Riobamba to the place it occupies today.
The new façade was built in white limestone with reliefs in which Aboriginal and Spanish values are present, scenes from the Old and New Testament, characters from our mountain range and biblical messages.
(Original)
La fachada de la Iglesia de la Catedral es una reliquia histórica, fue rescatada de los escombros de la antigua Riobamba destruida en el terremoto de 1797, y fue trasladada piedra tras piedra desde Sicalpa, lugar de la Antigua Riobamba hasta el lugar que hoy ocupa.
La nueva fachada fue construida en piedra calcárea blanca con relieves en los que están presentes valores aborígenes y españoles, escenas del viejo y nuevo testamento personajes de nuestra serranía y mensajes bíblicos.
(Translated by Google) The main temple and historic icon of the city. Its mestizo baroque façade was moved from the old town of Riobamba after the 1797 earthquake and is adorned with sculptures that combine Catholic tradition with the Andean worldview.
The three brick-topped towers are considered a "historical scar," added during the Republican era to ensure the structure's stability.
Located in the heart of Riobamba, across from Maldonado Park and next to the Municipal Palace, it is one of the city's most iconic and photographed landmarks.
(Original)
Templo principal e ícono histórico de la ciudad. Su fachada barroca mestiza fue trasladada desde la antigua Riobamba, tras el terremoto de 1797, y está adornada con esculturas que combinan la tradición católica con la cosmovisión andina.
Las tres torres, rematadas en ladrillo, son consideradas una “cicatriz histórica”, añadidas en época republicana para asegurar la estabilidad de la estructura.
Ubicada en pleno centro de Riobamba, frente al Parque Maldonado y junto al Palacio Municipal, es uno de los puntos más representativos y fotografiados de la ciudad.

Villa Bonita Hostel

Bed & breakfast
Serviced accommodation
Villa Bonita Hostel in Riobamba is a highly recommended place to stay. With its well-equipped kitchen and complimentary wi-fi, it offers comfort and convenience. The hostel boasts affordable rates starting from USD20 for a private room. Guests can expect exceptional hospitality from Vanessa and her family, who go above and beyond to ensure their visitors' needs are met. The cleanliness of the hostel is unparalleled, with daily deep cleaning routines.
The owners David and Vanessa are so nice and incredibly helpful for everything you want to do in Riobamba. I got a lot of tips from them about visiting El Altar and Chimborazo on my own and they can also help you organize a guided tour. The hostel itself is stunning, with beautiful decor and being super clean. The included breakfast is really good and the shower gets really hot which was fantastic after my hikes. Rooms very spacious and clean. They have some gear rental (sleeping bag, sleeping pad, rubber boots) as well, which was a big plus for El Altar! Super happy about their laundry service as well - clothes clean and folded after only 3 hours. Thanks tons for everything! Hope to be back!

Pleasant environment, lovely staff, fair prices and helpful manager. Ask for tours here if you don't want to pay extravagant fees.
Maybe one of the best Hostels i‘ve ever been in!
The rooms including batheooms are very clean and nice. The service is great and they helped me booking tickets for a football match! They are very kind as well!
Going to the Chimborazo its a very nice place to stay and the altitude helps as well!
Ghe prices are cheap as well and breakfast was included!
All in all as i said one of the best Hostels in Ecuador!
The *Villa Bonita Hostel is a fantastic option for travelers who appreciate comfort and genuine hospitality. The staff stands out for incredible friendliness and willingness to help, always ready to offer valuable advice on local tours and assist with booking them—without any pressure.
The breakfast at Villa Bonita Hostel is excellent, providing the perfect start to your day. The room rates are reasonable, and the value for money is impressive, especially given the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations.
In summary, Villa Bonita Hostel offers a cozy and inviting environment that makes you feel right at home. It’s definitely a place worth recommending to anyone visiting Riobamba.
Really nice hostel to relax in, free breakfast although it was a bit early, decent location, hot water, nice beds, huge lockers although sometimes they don't have the key for the lock. I booked the Chimborazo climb through them which was cheaper than other agencies I've visited.
One of the best hostels we have stayed in on our trip through SA! The building and rooms are huge and beautiful, and everything is super clean. The owners are a really nice local family that organised a tour to Chimborazo that ended up being a highlight of our travels. They also speak English which was very helpful. Riobamba is a super safe and comfortable city with some great restaurants and a few nice breweries.
We didn‘t feel welcome, the owner (women) was really arrogant. I don’t care what she will comment on this review, but that’s the way we felt. She gave us sh** because we only stayed 1 night and because we only speak very little spanish, even though she speaks perfect english. We never experienced that in Ecuador before.
The breakfast is A JOKE, I don‘t know why everybody says it‘s great: bread, eggs and a banana. You could take some coffee, yoghurt and jam (the jam was in a big pot and I guess they scraped of the mold, because it tasted definitely moldy).
The showers downstairs (which was the only one working properly, that‘s also what the owner told us to be fair) are see through. I know, there are other showers upstairs, but they are electric, so they are not good for washing long hair or/and wanting hot water.
It was very loud in the morning because of traffic and from the other rooms as well.
Their dogs jumped on us the whole time while we were eating.
Didn‘t like the location of the hostel.
Really overpriced for what you get.
2 stars, because it was pretty clean.
Truly a wonderful hostel. Very clean, large comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, good location, good service, nice breakfast. Some little things made the experience even better, such as: free towels, free breakfast, little towels in the bathroom to dry your hands, a good bathroom to bed ratio. In general the decorations and attention payed to detail were just superior, I highly recommend this place!

Additionally, it hosts excellent concerts by renowned artists such as van Mozart, Bajos Suenos, and Vilma Palma.

Delicious. Very typical ecuadorian supper.
The bolones were good. The coffee was terrible.
Great local foods.
Food could be better.
(Translated by Google) The taste is very good, clean and tidy, but what is shown on the menu is almost never available; it is always "sold out" or "out of stock" as an excuse, even when arriving more than an hour and a half before the cafeteria closes.

Pésimo servicio, tienen solo a dos meseros atendiendo a todas las mesas. Seguramente en cocina algo parecido. Se demoraron en limpiarnos la mesa, y 40 minutos en servirnos dos bolones y una empanada. Los bolones muy desmejorados: mucho mas pequeños que antes

D'Baggio is a charming pizza spot located at the intersection of Miguel A Leon and 10 de Agosto, designed to evoke the cozy ambiance of an Italian trattoria. As you step inside, you'll be captivated by the sight of skilled chefs tossing dough in the air and expertly baking pizzas in a traditional wood-fired oven right before your eyes. The menu boasts a variety of options featuring thin, crispy crusts topped with flavorful sauce that complements rather than overwhelms the fresh ingredients.
Excellent food for a fair price. Tip: try the lasagne!
Paul M — Google review
I got what I realized too late was essentially a cheese pizza. It was not good - puddle of oil on top, thick layer of cheese, crust was hard at first but became soggy. I ate half (of the mediano) and couldn't finish the rest, it was really bad. Wouldn't recommend. Also pretty pricey compared to other pizza places around the area.
Food was good, surely not Italian pizza, but the ingredients are not available in Ecuador. So the food was ok.
The service was also ok, but we didn't like the atmosphere with a loud movie from the 90s.
Probably the only place in Riobamba where pizzas are made by someone who learned to do so in Italy! Excellent
I asked for Tortilinis with shrimp. They brought me plate of tortelinis barely cooked on the outside. The inside still hard as a rock. Very disappointing. I had to send that back. They told me it would take 30 minutes minimum to bring me the dish. My party already had their dinners half way. They did not even offer me a quick alternative. Simply didn't charge me for it. I had to walk across the street to grab a burger. The worst service I've ever received.
Nice, small cozy place with a wood fire oven where they make their pizza. There are plenty options, the dough is thin and crispy, the sauce has good flavour but doesn't overpower the other ingredients. Would go back.
The staff is very uncourteous. I asked once the waitress to change the channel and she refused saying ¨its my time to see tv¨, the pizza inot the best considering the price, the overall experince is bad.
Good pizza, and salad too, but terrible service as the chef refused to change my free coke for water at all! Expensive as well...

Very gold and upscaled place. No dress code officially, but feels like there should be one. I liked the meat kabob. The view is very cool and so is all of the religious art as well.
I feel so bad about giving this review. I have been traveling already 8 weeks in this wonderful country, and this is the first time I feel absolutely cheated. I felt personally insulted. The place looks amazing, the food not spectacular but definitely OK. when I received the bill I noticed an extra payment "varios" ! When I asked the personal as to the meaning, they had no answer and went to ask the manager, came back claiming it was for extra alcohol in my drink. when I stated that I should of been asked if I wanted any extra, no clear answer. Such a shame. Just 2$ that left me with a bad feeling ...
The place and the food are a beautiful combination. If you go make sure to order their signature cocktail, we ordered filet mignon and believe when I say that they were perfect.
The place is dreamy and the service is even better.
This place is a hidden gem in Riobamba. A lot of effort is put in creating some kind of luxurious atmosphere but because of the very different kinds of ornaments it merely looks like a chaotic mix of flavors (which also has its charms). It is well worth a visit.
I enjoyed myself a lot tonight. We went there for dinner and the ambient was great. Menu selection is vast and we had pasta and traditional Ecuadorian Food. Both very well done, tough i would suggest sticking to traditional. Simply because it is the best. I devoured my food so fas - i didn’t even had time to snap a picture. But luckily i just so managed to take one of out dessert.
Enjoy!!!
One of the best restaurants we have found so far in Riobamba. Varied menu, immaculately clean. Beautifully decorated. The fajitas are one of our favorites here.
A historic, colonial styled house that has been refurbished and remodeled on the inside to be an elegant restaurant. The menu is very varied and the dishes are all indeed delicious. The interior decor features objets d'art, paintings, and souvenirs from around the world that belonged to the Córdova-Román family.

This restaurant is amazing, the food was really good, the service as well but the most important is the history behind. If you are in Riobamba this is a place that you can not miss. Highly recommend.
Excellent food in a wonderful quiet inviting environment! Relax and enjoy your surroundings while you wait for your freshly prepared meal. Charming host. Good value !!
Really nice little restaurant with open fire and great ambiance.
Dinner was good. But what I liked best was the atmosphere. The restaurant is in an old house with a Warming fire in the fireplace. First time I had been warm in Riobamba!
To be clear it is not a gourmet restaurant, it is a small family owned establishment and has those limitations so now you know.
Definitely worth it if you are in a small group or alone. The atmosphere at night is amazingly cozy and welcoming. If you care about the history of the building it adds to the feeling. The proprietor is very nice and the food is good for what it is ($8-$14)
Use the salsa. Really. Put it on everything. On the bread, on the meat, on your tongue, spread it on your chest, pour it into your eyes. Happiness is becoming one with the flavor.
Historic place. Absolutely gorgeous and you have a candlelight dinner. Food is very well prepared, served and very tasty. We sat next to the chimney, so was a very romantic dinner.
Looks lovely and the meat (when it finally arrived) was great but fries were cold. The waiter/owner was all smiles. All smiles for the 50 mi.utes we waited for drinks, 1.5 hours for the main dish (he forgot the entrada my friend had ordered) and for all of this he charged 19% servicio. Note the restaurant was busy but not too capacity. Off day perhaps.

La Nariz del Diablo, a historic rail network in Ecuador, offers a unique and thrilling journey from the Andes to the coast, showcasing steep terrain and breathtaking scenery. The train departs from Alausi, a charming town with shops and eateries. Onboard, passengers are treated to historical commentary in Spanish and English as they traverse the mountains. While some found it challenging to hear the guide's narration due to seating arrangements, others were captivated by the lush vegetation during April and May.
Hike it! You can hike it easily from Alausi by using the Mapsme app and following the trail. Bring water and sun protection plus they will probably have an entry fee next time as the booth is setup but unmanned as of September 2020. Awesome views as you follow the tracks from above. Enjoy!
Tim T — Google review
The train leaves out of Alausi, and it's fairly quiet, easy to walk around, shops and places to eat. Beautiful. The train itself was comfortable, with generally enough room, but not any to spare. The guide gave all historical information first in Spanish then again in English as we traveled through the mountains. I wasn't always able to hear her and she kind of hurried through it in rote fashion. No interest or enthusiasm. Depending on which side of the train you are on you may not be able to see. You are allowed to stand, but everyone was trying to get the same vantage point for their photographs, and that was frustrating and disappointing sometimes. There were two stops so people could get off and take pictures. The last stop had cultural dancing and hand crafted items for purchase as well as a restaurant/cafe which was pleasant.
Overall I enjoyed it.
Excellent for children of all ages! Make sure to get a conductor hat at the nearby market. The stop is a lovey cultural experience. Make sure to take it all in. You will want to be on the right side of the train as you head out of town to get the best views and get the best photos. Make sure to open the windows to avoid reflections in you photos and shoot at a fast shutter speed. Sit in the front or back corner of the cars for the best vantage points. Best time to go is the first excursion. Bring water, sunscreen, camera, and hat. If you arrive the night before get some great photos with the train without many, if any other, people in the photos.
It's a great train trip with great location and views, you will see one of a kind train trip at the mountain edge , with two stops that the first contain a viewpoint for photos and the second is a station with traditional dancers and a restuarant that offers snacks, drinks, breakfast or lunch as the time is .
with some old types of houses and workshops like a museum or something like that.
and the hole trip will takes 2 hours and, 30 minutes, 30 minutes to the viewpoint and there 15 minutes then an houre at the station and a few 30 minutes to go back to the station in Alausi
Very beautiful mountain view and very comfortable train ride. The tour guide spoke perfect English. We took the morning train, from 8:00 to 10:30, and visited a museum at the final station, was very interesting. Also if you want, there are some nice shops around the train station, cheap price and very good stuff.
Beutiful scenery, knowledgeable tour guides. Take a hoody or something worm if going early in the morning. But once sun comes out... you wish you had a tank top!.
Website to buy train tickets needs a lot of work. But if you are on time at the front desk of the train station, they'll set you up fairly quick.
In 1899 the construction of a train connection between Guayaquil and Quito started. The construction of the first trajectory is progressing well until the builders encounter a literally and figuratively large problem: the almost vertical rock face of the Nariz del Diablo (the "Devil's Nose"). By constructing a zigzag track, the railway builders are able to overcome 490 meters of altitude at only a short distance. In 1997, stormy weather destroyed large parts of the railway line and its recovery progressed very slowly. The winding route between the stations of Alausi and Sibambe now serves as a tourist attraction. The slow pace, especially on the zigzag route and the magnificent view, make this fantastic ride so attractive. A must see destination!
Absolutely a MUST SEE in Ecuador! This was easily my favorite experience of visiting Ecuador. Go in April or May to see the vegetation at its best. I went with a tour group and we stopped at the Alausi train station to see Nariz del Diablo. In the middle of the ride we stopped at a small building with a cafe and small shop. There were also people dancing in a part of the little building and we ended up joining them. I attached photos and videos of the area. Breathtaking!

The vision came to life through the efforts of Father Manuel Jose Proano and local residents who transported stones from nearby rivers for its construction.
(Translated by Google) Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Riobamba.
Enjoy the virtual tour of the seven churches, they symbolize the accompaniment of the faithful 🙏 to Jesus in each of his journeys until his crucifixion
Unique in its style in the country. Following the consecration of the Republic to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the idea of building a National Basilica was born at the initiative of Father Manuel José Proaño.
Once the task was undertaken, the Riobambeños began to carry stones for the foundations from the Chibunga River, as well as from other places near the city of Riobamba.
The financial contributions evidenced the generosity of Catholics.
Brother Ramón Lecanda made the plans considering the Basilica of San Ignacio de Loyola as a model.
On August 15, 1883, with all solemnity, the first stone was laid.
Overcoming time, the efforts and sacrifices of the Riobambeños and the Jesuits, the Basilica was inaugurated on June 9, 1915.

(Translated by Google) In Riobamba you can find a number of places to taste the different typical dishes of the city, one of them is the Doña Magolita room where she prepares food that highlights Ecuadorian gastronomy for locals and strangers. Among the different dishes you will find, the tortillas with cucara stand out, consisting of potato tortillas with parboiled meat, fried egg and salad, as well as dry goat, dry chicken, yaguarlocro, chop and the delicious morocho. Always preserving the traditional Ecuadorian flavor, for 25 years Doña Magdalena Sánchez has been dedicated to selling typical food after having retired from the ceramics industry, which is the place where she previously worked. At first she prepared fried caucaras but it was not very well received. Now she maintains a traditional recipe in her delicious dishes.

Siempre conservando el tradicional sabor ecuatoriano, desde hace 25 años Doña Magdalena Sánchez se dedica a la venta de comida típica después de haber sido jubilada en la cerámica que es lugar donde antes trabajaba, en un inicio preparaba las caucaras fritas pero no tuvo muy buena acogida, ahora mantiene una tradicional receta en sus deliciosos platos.

Absolutely wonderful food and coffee! Excellent service and very friendly staff. Definitely a place I’ll return to when visiting!
Nice clean place. Has wifi. Best coffee I've had in Ecuador. Owner and staff very friendly. Varied menu.
Back 11 months later. They renovated the restaurant and we had a great meal. The restaurant is clean and kind people work here. Now that we live here it will be a regular. Update, have lived here 1.5 years and frequent here at least once per week. My favorite thing (a big chicken salad) is not even on the menu. We just tell them what we want and they prepare it.
UPDATE: We have lived here more than 3 years, still one of my favorite places. It feels like home now. The owners are very kind.
UPDATE: 4 years now. Same as above.
Warm, cozy place, nice atmosphere. Lovely staff, good service and tasty food. The juice was a bit too sweet so maybe ask for less sugar if you’re ordering a juice.

Place is cosy,clean and good family restaurants.

Excellent service and attention in a very beautiful building in the historic center of Riobamba. Charming and great food and desserts, what more can you ask for? Some of the plates have Spanish influences such as Paella and a Rabo de toro with a red wine sauce.

salad is great, but the rest we had was so so. I was less impressed by the pizza and my girlfriend had the spaghetti some vegetarian type which was way to salty.
For the rest the waiter was amazing. Very friendly.
Tourists be cautious . I’m in town visiting family from jersey. I have been here for a week and have had no issues with food. I ordered two pies last night to share with the family. I had a slice and a half. I deeply regret it. I had horrible diarrhea last night and today I have diarrhea with a terrible stomach ache. For about 23 US a pie , the taste was not good and the food poisoning is not worth it. My aunt who lives in Ecuador got sick too from the pizza. If I would’ve known this, I wouldn’t have eaten any. Hopefully, this review helps prevent someone else from getting sick.
Good pizza (all I had) at this locals' spot. No craft beer (cerveza artisanal). Soccer on the TVs both times I ate here.

Iglesia Católica San Alfonso | Riobamba
4.3
(31)
Catholic church
San Alfonso Church, also known as the Temple of San Alfonso, is a stunning Catholic church located in Riobamba. The construction of this beautiful building began in 1872 and was completed in 1880 with contributions from the local community. The church is situated on Argentinos and 5 de Junio streets, next to the San Alfonso market.
(Translated by Google) TEMPLE OF SAN ALFONSO
The Missionary fathers of the Most Holy Redeemer established themselves in Riobamba on July 15, 1870, in the convent and church of San Agustín. On May 4, 1871, the church collapsed and a small chapel was built for worship.
In 1872, the construction of the Temple of San Alfonso began with the contribution of the Riobambeños in economic resources and carrying all types of materials. The work took 8 years under the rectorate of the priests Pedro Didier, Pedro López and Antonio Yenger. The architects were the Redemptorist brothers Vicente Lindner and Teófilo Richert.
In 1880 the work was completed; The inauguration celebrations are solemn. The official consecration took place on April 17, 1881 and was presided over by the Apostolic Delegate Dr. Mario Mocenni.
In 1905 the Redemptorites were violently expelled from the country; and through the management of a commission of Riobamba ladies, the gradual return of all of them is achieved so that they can continue with their pastoral and missionary mission.
The church shows the neo-Gothic and Romanesque style of the time; It has walls, interior arches, rose windows and an iron roof; On the main façade there are two tall, conical, wooden towers. Inside, a beautiful altar covered with gold leaf stands out; paintings and images of great artistic value, the image of the Virgin of Perpetual Help and the statue of San Alfonso de Ligorio.
Address: Calles Argentinos and 5 de Junio.

TEMPLO DE SAN ALFONSO
Los padres Misioneros del Santísimo Redentor se establecen en Riobamba el 15 de julio de 1870, en el convento e iglesia de San Agustín. El 4 de mayo de 1871 se desploma la iglesia y se construye una pequeña capilla para el culto.
En 1872 inicia la construcción del Templo de San Alfonso con el aporte de los riobambeños en recursos económicos y acarreando todo tipo de materiales. 8 años demoró la obra bajo el rectorado de los sacerdotes Pedro Didier, Pedro López y Antonio Yenger. Los arquitectos fueron los hermanos redentoristas Vicente Lindner y Teófilo Richert.
En 1880 la obra está terminada; los festejos de inauguración son solemnes. La consagración oficial tuvo lugar el 17 de abril de 1881 y estuvo presidida por el Delegado Apostólico Dr. Mario Mocenni.
En 1905 los redentoritas son expulsados del país en forma violenta; y por gestión de una comisión de damas riobambeñas, se logra el retorno, paulatino, de todos ellos para que continúen con su misión pastoral y misionera.
La iglesia muestra el estilo neogótico y románico de la época; posee muros, arquería interior, rosetones y techumbre de hierro; en la fachada principal se distinguen dos torres altas, cónicas y de madera. En su interior se destaca un hermoso altar cubierto con pan de oro; cuadros e imágenes de gran valor artístico, la imagen de la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro y la estatua de San Alfonso de Ligorio.

(Translated by Google) Without payments by debit or credit card, they charge with VAT included and they only give you an invoice if you ask them, the taste of the normal food is nothing out of the ordinary.

Sin pagos en tarjeta de débito ni de crédito, cobran con Iva Incluido y solo te dan factura si les pides, el sabor de los alimentos normal nada fuera de lo común.

La Vienesa / La Andaluza Deli

Espresso bar
Bakery
Deli
La Vienesa Delicatessen is a traditional spot in Riobamba known for serving the best hornado in Ecuador, accompanied by refreshing natural fruit juices cooled with ice from the nearby Chimborazo volcano. They also offer delicious crispy empanadas de morocho. The place is cash-only and offers a good menu featuring breakfast, sandwiches, and excellent coffee. Visitors can find an array of cheese, hams, and other products at this iconic establishment.
Lots of cheese, hams and other products. If you are from outside the "palanqueta" (bread) is their best.
Breakfast are awesome too.

This place is cash only. I tried to use a debit credit card, and they don't take them they have a good menu. we ordered breakfast and sandwiches they were really good. I ordered a cappuccino, and it was a little bit bitter. I'm not sure if the coffee was good quality. our cashier was really slow and wasn't paying attention to our order. we had to repeat it twice other than that. If you're in the area, I recommend the sandwiches.
Really good coffe
Breakfast excellent
Ok
(Translated by Google) The service is bad, the truth is that the breakfast is not worth what it costs, the order takes a long time and the food when it arrives ends up being cold, the place is clean and the area is nice, however, paying 4.50 (for a breakfast ) seems excessive to me for the quantity and quality of the food. Honestly, I don't recommend it.
(Original)
La atención es mala, la verdad no vale el desayuno lo que cuesta, el pedido se demora bastante y la comida al llegar, termina de hacerlo fría, el lugar es limpio y el sector es bonito, sin embargo, pagar 4.50 (por un desayuno) me parece excesivo por la cantidad y la calidad de la comida. La verdad, no lo recomiendo.
(Translated by Google) Bad experience, not recommended. They serve tables that arrive later first. They forgot our orders. They didn't provide enough cutlery for the number of people (you ask for more and they start washing it in the meantime). Several tables complaining. An hour and a half waiting at a table.
(Original)
Mala experiencia no recomendable. Sirven primero a mesas que llegan después. Se olvidaron de los pedidos. No ponen cubiertería suficiente para el número de personas (les pides más y se ponen a lavar ese rato). Varias mesas quejándose. Una hora y media en mesa esperando
(Translated by Google) The only bad thing was a table of some uneducated people, who were there, otherwise highly recommended
(Original)
Lo único malo fue una mesa de algunas personas sin educación, que se encontraban en el sitio, por lo demás súper recomendado

Prices are very good and in general the place is okay. But one of our rooms hasn't been cleaned and the new room we got for this wasn't very clean either.
Not good for the price! Website said one price and they won't validate web price. Run down for the price. Won't recommend and you have to ask for the"free" breakfast or you won't get any!
Weird, dirty, no hot water when we got there. I'd give somewhere else a try.
(Translated by Google) A very warm Hotel, with comfortable rooms and first-class service. RECOMMENDED

Cafetería PONCHES & CREPES

Cafetería PONCHES & CREPES is a delightful culinary haven in Riobamba that promises an unforgettable dining experience. Visitors rave about the freshness and generous portions of their offerings, which include a variety of delicious crepes and savory empanadas. The ponche de canela stands out as a must-try, alongside sweet options like Nutella-stuffed crepes adorned with strawberries.
This was by far the best food we had in Riobamba! Absolutely everything was DELICIOUS and fresh, and the portions were quite generous. We had the ponche de canela, pizza + chicken empanadas, pizza crepe, chicken crepe, and a crepe with bananas, strawberries, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup. We loved every single thing we tried -- we were only disappointed we didn't have more time to try everything on their menu! The food was fantastic, but the service and kindness by the owners and staff was wonderful. Everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful, and it made us want to hang out there. They even gave us recommendations of other places to visit. We just loved them! This place is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Riobamba. Highly, highly recommended! The pics don't do the food justice. Also, they are great about mask-wearing and cleanliness, which made us comfortable.

Wow! This adorable little place is a true gem! My husband and I read some good comments about it and decided to check it out, and we're so glad we did. We got an empanada de carne, strawberry/Nutella crepes, and our first ever ponches. Everything was absolutely delicious! The empanada was flaky, soft, and crispy. The meat was super savory and flavored flawlessly. The crepes were fantastic. And the ponches—hard to put my finger on it, but they tasted like some kind of nostalgic bit of childhood, like a marriage between snickerdoodles and pancakes but in a drink form, like a warm and comforting hug! If a drink could be described as fluffy, this one would be. Amazing! On top of the outstanding food, the place was an endearing little nook with nice, calm music and the kindest owner, Alfonso. You could tell he really cares about giving his customers the best experience. 10/10 highly recommended!
the food was delicious i had a Nutella crepe and a quimbolito. the place was very clean, and the staff friendly and helpful.
We love their cheese empanadas and ice-cream.

(Translated by Google) A very rich, unmatched flavor. Their specialties are the dried goat, the cinnamon and the shrimp sauce that goes on top of the cuts of meat, perhaps they lack the finish of the meats better but the flavor is very good
(Original)
Un sabor inigualable muy rico. Sus especialidades son el seco de chivo, la canela y la salsa de camarones que va encima de los cortes de Carne, tal vz les falta mejor el término de las carnes pero el sabor va muy bien
