Las Lajas Sanctuary & Tulcán Excursion

We'll meet at 10 am at Parque Santander in the Colombian town of Ipiales. From here, we'll head towards the Las Lajas Sanctuary, also known as the National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Las Lajas.

Upon arrival, we'll tour this sacred space, visit its museum, and admire the altar of Our Lady of Las Lajas while learning about the 'Miracle of God over the Abyss'.

We will take the sanctuary's cable car to enjoy views of the Guaitara canyon.

After the guided tour, we will return to Ipiales for a traditional lunch at a local restaurant, featuring lapingacho, a typical dish of grilled meat, Spanish omelette, and cheese.

Post-lunch, we will cross the border into Ecuador to explore notable points in the city of Tulcán.

After approximately 30 minutes of free time in the commercial area, we will return to the meeting point, with arrival scheduled for 6 pm.
