Pastocalle imagePastocalle is worth a visit for the stunning location of the town.

The little town is tucked away between some of the highest peaks of the country. Pastocalle can be found close to the national Park ' Los Illinizas', know for its biodiversity and as a great hiking area at all levels.

At this moment there are not a lot of facilities offered in the small indigenous community, but it is certainly a great place to do a hike for a day or two. There are several local guides willing to take you around the area and offer you an amazing tour of the mountainous area.



Places to stay and eat

Visitors usually pass through Pastocalle for a few hours (mainly on mountainbike tours). At this moment there is no accommodation available in Pastocalle.

We recommend to stay the night in Latacunga, that offers accommodation in many hotels available in different price ranges.

Some small shops in Pastocalle offer local dishes for low prices, a great way to get a taste of the local cuisine and support local businesses.
