Las Lajas Sanctuary Tour Full day from Quito - Ask for a quotation if you are more than 2 people.

Ecuador is a very religious country. His faith has crossed borders so much that the sanctuary of Las Lajas is visited daily by Catholic believers from Ecuador. People have great faith in the Virgin of Las Lajas and show their favors are the thousands of pictures that are stuck on the rocks around the church. It is almost a tradition that entire families visit the Sanctuary on more than one occasion. The beauty of the mountains and valleys will make this trip a unique experience crossing through different mestizo, Indian and Afro-Ecuadorian communities.
