| Queue at Ecuador border snaking on outside |
The border crossing from
Ecuador to
Colombia is a nightmare! There were extremely long queues at both the
Ecuador as well as
Colombia immigration, and is the worse border crossing I have done in
South America till date as it took me almost 4 hours to clear both borders.
Strangely, they did not seperate the crowd into an entry or exit queue, so everyone gets squeezed into one queue to be handled by the same immigration.

| Traffic from Ecuador to Colombia |
By the time I cleared customs, it was already 5.30pm. Initially, I had wanted to squeeze in a day trip to
Sanctuario de las Lejas, which was just about 20 mins away. But because of the delays at immigration I had to forsake visting this supposedly amazing cathedral built on a bridge, and head straight to
Popayan on a night bus, in order to have enought time to spend in the city and yet be able to reach
Cali by Xmas eve!
