What to Do

•  You should take part in the Carnaval de Negros y Blancos, the most important celebration in Pasto. If you join the parades, you will dance and paint your face with colors.

• You could try traditional dishes like cuy asado (roast guinea pig) or empanadas de pipián. If you eat them, you will discover amazing local flavors.

• You should go hiking in the mountains around the city. If the weather is nice, you will see spectacular views of the Andes.

• You can walk through the markets and buy handicrafts. If you talk to the sellers, you will learn more about their traditions.
