Nariño is undoubtedly the gateway from the Andean universe to the rest of Colombia; it is here that the Inca Trail—Qhapac Ñan—begins, which connected these territories to the Inca Empire or Tahuantinsuyo. Through the mountain junction known as the "Nudo de los Pastos," trade, arts, culinary traditions, customs, and ultimately all the elements that nourish the country's rich multicultural variety have permeated the region. Today, the Pan-American Highway serves as the immediate mobility link for thousands of people traveling to and from South America, carrying their productive, emotional, or recreational interests across a territory clearly integrated by a shared landscape in all its dimensions. The city of Pasto is a fascinating and essential stop along this route.
