$6 taxi from Cotacachi and what a wonderful view. What use to be a volcano is now a spectator sight to see. Small shops and rest room as well as restaurant on site make for a lovely day. No Admission fee and you can take a scenic boat trip around the lake for $1.

I'm not usually into captive wildlife collections--this one is very different. The refuge is exactly that--a place for injured or sick birds of very dramatic species--the layout is great for walking through, the birds are magnificent--you will Condors which are huge and daunting--but in a large, spatial enclosure. The bird demonstration/show by a trained and knowledgeable handler is really something to see--especially the release of the birds for flying around and coming back for a reward morsel.

Take the short hike along a walled cobble stoned path. Lots to see along the way as you pass a campground and a small settlement. You can view the falls from a small bridge below the falls or climb to the top on some steep trails. It can be very muddy and slippery, so take care when climbing.

From the gorgeous glass entry doors to the tasteful restoration of a beautiful building and courtyard it is a feast to the eyes and senses in a sea of more modern block buildings. Close to the equally impressive Cathedral and Convento across the street, and the Hotel next door. Worth a visit.
7. Museo del Banco Central del Ecuador Ibarra

Reviewed By Yvonne109E - Searsport, Maine
This museum was one of the best I have ever visited. Through dioramas it shows how the first Ecuadorians lived in caves along the ocean and from there became more sophisticated with farming and forming communities. Then came the Incas to form larger areas. The people prospered and mined gold, silver, precious jewels. This museum has it all from pre-Columbian days until their freedom was won from France in 1839.

I read about this tree, and wanted to see it, despite our tour guide telling me it was "just a tree" - though it had an interesting history. It is just a tree....but the ride to get there was exciting, literally in the middle of nowhere. The view is spectacular. I think it was definitely worth the diversion.

...but, i hate to say this, the real attraction is the street (calle 10de Agosto) with all the leathershops. Great, great deals if you like leather stuff; shoes, boots, bags, jackets and horse-riding stuff. My girlfriend and I did some damage here! Absolutely recommended for, dare i say it, leather lovers!

Star Cinema is a pretty place in Ibarra for watch movies of first quality. This business of film projection are directed for all public of all ages. They are based in the service of high quality with the best technology of projections in Ecuador. They are also engaged to create unforgettable emotions for their customers. They have a famous phrase “THE MAGIC CINEMA IS ALREADY IN IBARRA”.
Star Cinema is ubicated in Ibarra, in Mariano Acosta and Fray Vacas Galindo. Their attention schedule is every day from 10:00 am at 22:30 pm. The customer’s don´t have any complaints. But they should beef up their security because there are people who annoy to others people. To finish I recommend this cinema, in my opinion is the best in Imbabura. Watch movies in this place is the best experience.
