Túquerres
8.3
Mid score (6-8)
Second-largest city on the Nariño Altiplano after Ipiales, population around 30,000 at 3,000m on the Pan-American highway, with a commercial infrastructure that exceeds most plateau municipalities — real market, several hotels, some nightlife. The nearby Laguna Verde in the Azufral crater is a regional draw that brings some outside visitors and means locals are not completely unused to seeing unfamiliar faces. Women here are conservative in the Andean Catholic tradition but the city is large enough that a foreign presence registers with novelty value. Not a destination to plan around but viable as a base for the southern Altiplano.
