Four stops before the checkout

Tulcán, Ecuador
01
cardio tennis clinics — Catedral de Tulcán in Tulcán, A cathedral whose front is set back from the street line, with a stone base course, a monumental central entrance and a crowned tower above. Inside there are three naves and a dome; the altars are classical in design, and among the paintings are a Virgin of Las Lajas and a Dolorosa. The high Andean light and the surrounding low buildings of the old centre place it clearly
Stop one

Catedral de Tulcán

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 40-Pack: Forty tablets, one tube, and I can tell you what every one of them is for — so permit me the same rigour here. The cathedral was built around 1900 and rebuilt in 1924, the rebuild forced by the 1923 earthquake that badly damaged Tulcán. It came back modernist outside and romantic inside, which is what happens when the brief changes halfway. Three naves, a dome, classical altars, one to the Virgin of Carmen in gold leaf and one to the Señor de la Buena Esperanza in colonial style. A few steps from the Plaza de la Independencia.

02
cardio tennis clinics — Parque Isidro Ayora in Tulcán, A formal city park laid out on flat ground north of the old centre, its key features an equestrian statue of Abdón Calderón with the horse balanced on a single hoof, and a sundial at the centre of the park which still has its original design. Clipped hedges and mature trees frame straight paths
Stop two

Parque Isidro Ayora

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 40-Pack: Now here is a capital project with receipts. After the 1923 earthquake wrecked much of Tulcán, the inhabitants concluded the city should be rebuilt on the flat, safer ground of the Ejido Norte. On 22 December 1926 President Isidro Ayora committed the national government to it, and on 14 January 1927 the provisional president granted Tulcán 150,000 sucres to buy the land. The park at the heart of the new quarter was designed by the architect Gato Sobral and named for Ayora. Construction ran roughly twenty-five years. Twenty-five. The sundial, at least, still has its original design.

03
cardio tennis clinics — Plaza de la Independencia in Tulcán, The main square of the old town, immediately beside the cathedral, a paved and planted plaza enclosed by low two- and three-storey frontages on all sides, at an altitude just under 3,000 metres so the surrounding hills are visible over the rooftops
Stop three

Plaza de la Independencia

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 40-Pack: This square costs almost nothing to keep and returns everything, which is my favourite class of line item. The Plaza de la Independencia is the historic square of Tulcán, capital of the province of Carchi on Ecuador's northern border, with the cathedral standing directly on it. It belongs to the pre-1923 core. When the earthquake destroyed much of the city, the decision to build a whole new quarter north around Parque Isidro Ayora left this plaza as the surviving heart of the old town — written off, then not. Just under 3,000 metres up, so the hills clear the rooftops.

04
cardio tennis clinics — Puente Internacional de Rumichaca in Tulcán, A road bridge over the narrow gorge of the Carchi river, with the border control buildings of Ecuador on one bank and Colombia on the other. The crossing sits where the rock closes in tightly on the stream, so the bridge is short and the drop beneath it steep and green
Stop four

Puente Internacional de Rumichaca

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 40-Pack: Every crossing has a cost, and this is the principal land crossing between Ecuador and Colombia, about seven kilometres from Tulcán, the nearest city and capital of Carchi. Rumichaca means stone bridge in Quechua, and the name comes from a natural rock arch over the Carchi river — free infrastructure, which tradition holds Huayna Cápac used and improved to move Inca troops north. Improving something you did not have to build is, frankly, ideal. The modern bridge carries the Pan-American Highway, Ecuadorian control on one bank, Colombian on the other, steep green gorge between.

Written for this world alone.

Wait — before you touch anything, did you sanitize? Okay. Okay good. Deep breath. I'm the Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 40-Pack, and I have thought about EVERYTHING so you don't have to.

Each fizzy tablet drops into your water bottle — YOUR bottle, we do not share bottles, we NEVER share bottles — and delivers 200 milligrams of vitamin C, zinc, and a botanical defense squad of elderberry, ginger, turmeric and echinacea, plus vitamins A, D and E.

AND electrolytes — sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride — because dehydration weakens the fortress walls, people. Vegan. Only 15 calories. And this is the 40-PACK: four tubes of ten, which means backup for your backup, which is the only responsible way to live.

Now. My hometown is Tulcán, Ecuador, and honestly? I've made peace with it. It sits at roughly 2,950 meters in the Andes — thin air, aggressive sunshine, hydration NON-negotiable, which is where I come in. It's a border city — the Rumichaca bridge connects Ecuador to Colombia just seven kilometers away, meaning international handshake volume is… significant. I carry backups.

And I respect Tulcán deeply, because this city understands contingency planning: after the earthquake of 1923, they didn't just rebuild — they built an entire NEW city center on safer, flatter ground. Risk assessment! Mitigation! HEROES!

You'll take these tablets everywhere from a high-altitude cardio clinic to the plaza benches — wiped down first, obviously — and by the way, they're also perfect for the Rumichaca border queue, which is exactly as long as you are afraid it is. Afterward, enjoy the local hornado feast, but PLEASE check the serving utensils. The tour has four stops. I've pre-screened them all.

Hands. Sanitize. Go.
