Loja, Ecuador’s Longest Running City Walking Tour
Nothing beats walking through the heart of a city to see its most unique features. Life in Loja has been guiding visitors on the city’s most highly reviewed walking tour for over five years. Guided by a life-long resident, hundreds of tourists have experienced our highly detailed private bilingual walk through the culture and history of Loja, one of the country’s oldest Spanish Colonial cities and the arts capital of Ecuador. Nestled in the Andes Mountain range between two world renowned national parks, Podocarpus and Yacuri, Loja is a hidden gem as the last urban stop before Ecuador’s border with Peru. The tour takes you to colonial squares surrounded by balconied tile roof stucco town houses of the old Spanish hacienda owners, along with art-packed churches, convents, and monasteries dating back to the South American Renaissance. Not standing still in time, Loja is also a city moving into the modern era with ecologically-minded infrastructure, examples of all the significant architectural styles of the 20th Century, exuberant mural art, and a burgeoning reputation for growing the finest coffee in Ecuador. Loja is also the destination of one of the largest religious pilgrimages in south America dedicated to the Virgin Mary of El Cisne and the home of Ecuador’s international performing arts festival.

      Ecuador and many other countries in the world are facing a crisis. The job opportunities are low and many people left Ecuador to find a good paying job. However, Ecuador is diverse and the highlands are becoming a good place to retire. Retiring in Ecuador is a good option because of the climate, cost of living and food among the most important reasons. Not all the cities are similar. Loja, is one of the safest cities in this country and it’s also one of the most beautiful.
