Travel Guide Ipiales

Ipiales is an important commercial city taking advantage of its proximity to the Ecuadorian border (7 km). In general, the traveler will only make a brief stop here on his way to or from Ecuador. Those who have time will explore the surroundings, especially the nearby Sanctuary of Las Lajas. There are functional, but unattractive hotels in the center, especially near the San Felipe Neri church. The terminal is 7 cuadras from the main park. Frequent departures to Pasto (2 hours), Popayan (8 hours) and Cali (10 hours). For Rumichaca (border), minibuses leave from calle 14, between carreras 7 and 10. The cost of a cab is $10,000.
