Pasto is the capital of the department of Nariño; it’s located in the south of Colombia, Pasto is a very religious city, you can find many pretties and interesting places to visit, such as the majestic Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Las Lajas and the lake La Cocha, I consider my city is the coldest place in Colombia, most people wear warm clothing like a scarf, shelter and boots.

Near to my city we have one volcano called Galeras is located a few kilometers from the city of Pasto, this is one of the Colombia’s most frequently active volcanoes. Crafts are an important tradition in Pasto, leather; ceramics and wood constitute the historical legacy of the city. The best time to visit my city is during the black and white carnival in this celebration you can find parades, dancers and musicians, thousands of people come from all over the country; maybe this event is the most popular in Colombia.

THE COMPARISON OR COMPARISONS MADE ABOUT THE CITIES.

Pasto vs Sandoná

In Sandoná, it is also celebrated the Blacks and Whites’ Carnival as well as in the capital, but in Pasto, it is the best because it allows to see many and many crafts, diversity of representations and culture, in change here, there are a very few floats and it is really smaller. Although in Pasto is developed the most interesting Carnival than any other surrounding small town, I prefer enjoy it here in Sandona because I like to be with my family and friends and also because, in here is more peaceful than Pasto.

Ipiales vs Pasto

Reading your contribution, I can refer that Ipiales is colder than Pasto, I think so, because I have been over there and by the way, in a raining day. But it is great, you have the opportunity to go to Las Lajas whenever you want, because it is closer from Ipiales than from Pasto, it sounds good.

Sotomayor vs Sandoná

Sotomayor is warm around 24 degrees and comparing it with Sandoná, Sotomayor is warmer than Sandoná because it is warm but just around 19 degrees however in your hometown is also cultivated the plantain as well as in Sandoná and I can say, too, that from the capital “Pasto” Sotomayor is farther than Sandoná.
