Is Tulcán worth visiting?
Tulcán functions primarily as a regional hub and border crossing rather than a major tourist destination in its own right. However, it offers genuine local character, the Cathedral of St. Michael, the distinctive cemetery grounds, and the urban fabric of a working Ecuadorian city. Those interested in regional travel, border crossings, or authentic highland town experience will find Tulcán worthwhile; those seeking major attractions may prefer nearby destinations like Ibarra or Otavalo.
