Pasto Pasto is the capital of the Narino department, in the south of Colombia. For centuries it has been an important religious and cultural centre and in town you will find a number of richly decorated colonial churches, the most notable being the Iglesia de Cristo Rey and the Iglesia de San Juan Bautista. The city also has a small but good Museo de Oro with gold and pottery from the area. In the beginning of January the Carnaval de Blancos y Negros is held. On these days the city goes wild! It's a cool time to be in Pasto but do not wear your newest clothes.
