Actually, I didn't start taking pictures this time until we were almost to Tulcán so my camera wouldn't run out of battery this time.
Lots of bamboo poles for use in construction
Bamboo ladders
Another place to get your car fixed
I love all the flower pots!
I wonder how many people down here know what "cleaner DOG" means!
Bus terminal in Tulcán
Roadside food stand on the way out of town
The road to Rumichaca
Looking back on Tulcán
Anybody care for a piece of meat that's been hanging out in the sun for six hours or so?
And sometimes you wouldn't know you've left North America.
(It's a Chevrolet dealership, in case you can't read the sign.)
Trying to get a picture of all the taxis waiting to take people from Colombia to Ecuador
Ecuador thanks you for your visit.
That's the Colombian immigration office in the background on the left.
The Colombian taxi parking lot
You can take a collective taxi to the center of Ipiales for less than a dollar apiece. When the car gets four passengers, it goes.
Passing by the immigration building
Bienvenidos a Colombia.
This vendor has his wares set up on the side of the street as you enter Ipiales.
Looking toward this entrance to town
There are a variety of collective taxis that run routes through town. The fare is 1000 pesos per person, somewhere between 30 and 40 cents at the current exchange rate.
"Do not throw your garbage here" is the loose translation of the words on the pole. (Actually, the part that you can see in the picture invites people to dump their garbage right there, but I'm sure there's a "No" above the visible words. 😉)
Vendor cart
Heading toward the center of town
The cuartel (military post) is on the right behind that orange wall.
Some of our friends live in this apartment above and to the left of the sigh that says "Challenger." The man of that home has his electronics repair shop below.
If you need a radiator, this appears to be the place for you.
And that's all for this tour.
