The Circumvalar de Galeras
Location:
Near Pasto, Pasto, Colombia
Cultural Tour
The Circumvalar de Galeras (or Ruta Dulce de Nariño) around the base of Volcán Galeras samples historical, colonial villages with long artisan traditions: Nariño, La Florida, Sandoná, Consacá, Yacuanquer and Tangua. The most famous of these is Sandoná, 48 kilometers northwest of Pasto, on the other side of the Volcáno. It is an indigenous town with a Saturday market. The Panama hats drying in the streets are made by this pueblo’s women from paja toquilla (Carludovica palmate) fiber.
Getting There
Several guides offer the Circumvalar tour, or ask the Pasto tourism office for specifics on how to do the circuit yourself.
To arrive at Sandoná on your own, take buseta 12 (Universidad de Nariño) ($0.20) or taxi ($1.60) to the Parqueadero
Relative price: Budget
