Welcome to Cañar!

Cañar province, located in the Ecuadorian highlands, has an impressive cultural and scenic richness; also, an incredible touristic potential, which has not yet been exploited. That is the reason why we wrote this blog. Here, we show some of the most relevant touristic and magic places of the province. These sites are perfect for visiting with family, friends, or even alone because the experience is unique, no matter who you are with.  Furthermore, any of these places are appropriate for school trips. If students visit Cañar, they will not only learn about its culture, but they will also enjoy the moment. There are many things to do here. Moreover, Cañar and Ecuador, in general, are distinguished for the hospitality of their people and their culture.

We chose some significant places to write about in this blog. We can categorize them based on different aspects. For instance, if we refer to Virgen del Rocío Sanctuary, Señor de las Flores Church, or Virgen de la Nube Shrine, we can refer to them as places for catholic people. However, they can be visited by anyone who wants to go there with respect. Another category can be mountains; here, we decide to include Abuga and Cojitambo. They can be a good option for people who like hiking or appreciate being in open places. Also, we have lagoons and lakes such as Chocar, Culebrillas, and Guabizhun. Aquatic parks too, some of them natural like Guapán, or artificial such as Pedregal. Those are for people who want to relax near or even in the water. Now, for people who aspire to learn about our culture and background, there are Ingapirca and Olleros. It is possible to classify them as historical places or centers.  

 

With all these, we want to give you a warm welcome to Cañar province.
