V!VA User‘s Description

Ibarra, Imbabura's provincial capital, is also known as the "White City" due to its colonial whitewashed buildings. Cobblestone streets, red-tiled roofs and horse-drawn carts add to the historic ambiance. Most travelers come to Ibarra to hop aboard the train, which rolls its way down from the Andes to the coastal town of San Lorenzo, 193 miles away. Ibarra is also close to Esmeraldas, if you want a quick dip in the ocean.
