This is a great day trip from Pasto. Easy to get there by collectivo from near park Bolivar (5000 COP), travel about 40 minutes through very pretty landscape. We got out of the bus by the turn to the village and walked the two kilometers to enjoy a slow arrival to the village. This is very pleasant stroll. The village itself is incredibly pictoresque and cute with lots of colors and wooden houses on stilts, completely different from everything we've seen in Colombia. You can take a boat to the island (50000COP per boat) and hike through a beautiful forest to a viewpoint (entrance fee 10000 COP). The boat will wait for you. It's also a great place to swim if you don't mind cold-ish water. In the town there are plenty of restaurants with set menus with a local trout - delicious (8000 - 12000 COP per meal). Really great day out! Plus the weather is usually better by the lake than in Pasto. Highly recommended!

Majestic cathedral to visit, highly recommended! It's located in the heart of the city and one of the most emblemating churches. In the nearby zone consider also to take some pictures of the Cristo Rey church.

We were here on a Sunday afternoon and wanted, in addition to the churches, see something different. We checked the opening hours in the web and saw that it will be open! We walked to the museum and found closed doors. A policeman we have asked then told us to knock on the door. The security opened and we explained the situation. She let us in and we had the museum for us alone. The colourful masks were fantastic, the fotos and explanations were good, but could be more! A really good alternative in this city!
