How Does Light Affect Things



That's it, we here in Ecuador!

But before leaving Colombia, we stopped just before the border to visit the shrine of Nuestra Señora de Las Lajas, reputed to be one of the finest and impressive place of worship in the country. Located in the canyon of the Rio Guaitara, 7 kilometers from the border town of Ipiales, is the most important pilgrimage center of South America.
Church, Gothic Revival, was built in the gorge of the river, more than fifty feet above the water at the spot where the Virgin appeared to a little girl. This will give us the opportunity to see a second tribute to the Virgin of Lourdes, decidedly more popular than we'd thought!
Resuming then the road to reach the border post, where the formalities carried out in the Colombian territory. We will then join up with Ecuador, officialis et notre entrée sur le territoire. Nous bus will reprenons ensuite, direction Ibarra, Mecque Equateur du glider.


We finally got to Ecuador!
But before leaving Colombia, stopped before the border to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Las Lajas, known as one of the most beautiful and amazing place of worship in the country. Located in the canyon of Rio Guaitara, 7 kilometers from the border town of Ipiales, is the most important center of pilgrimage in Latin America.
The church, Gothic style, is built on a bridge over the river, more than fifty feet above the water, in the same place where the Virgin would have appeared to a little girl. This will be an opportunity for us to discover a tribute to the Virgin of Lourdes, much more famous than we imagined!
Then we resume the journey to reach the border, where the formalities are carried out of Colombia. Then, we had to go to Ecuador walking, and formalize our entry on the territory. Then we boarded a bus again, address Ibarra, the Mecca of paragliding in Ecuador.
