HOW TO GET TO LA PASTORA?

La Pastora is located in the township of La Florida, in the region of Pereira. To get to the La Florida township, we must board a ‘’Chiva’’ or transport with stairs 🚌 (as it were available transportation accessible for those tours that are so distant from the urban range). We boarded ‘’la Chiva’’ before the Ciudad Victoría Shopping Center's stop square (16th street).

The travel keeps going for around 2 hours and a half until coming to ‘’El Cedral’’ for travelers aboard ‘’La Chiva’’. During the trip, you'll be able to watch an incredible number of landscapes, and in some cases, you'll be able to see the Otún river.
