Capital of Nariño at 2,527m altitude with four universities including Universidad de Nariño keeping the population younger and more open than the city's conservative regional reputation suggests. The Carnaval de Negros y Blancos in early January is UNESCO-listed and the one moment when Pasto's normally reserved social culture opens up completely — a foreign man during carnival has a distinct advantage over any other time of year. Pastuzo women are known throughout Colombia for their conservatism and loyalty, which cuts both ways: harder to open up initially, but when they do, the engagement is serious and sustained. A presentable foreign man with working Spanish stands out meaningfully here in a way that simply does not happen in larger Colombian cities where outsiders are routine.
