Pasto, Colombia

Write a review | Edit place information | Add a hostel

Pasto is a small city in the south of Colombia. It's not an especially beautiful city, but it's in a nice area to explore.

On January 5 and 6 it hosts the infamous Carnaval de Blancos y Negros, when everyone goes crazy and throws flour and chalk and stuff around. Don't miss it if you're in the neighbourhood.

Around Pasto you can visit the pretty Laguna de la Cocha (half an hour away) and the Volcan Galeras (the local volcano), you can hike to the top.
