Iglesia Matriz San Pedro de Cañar
Bästa tid att besöka
On Sunday mornings, a visit can best be combined with mass and the opening of the big market, so everything gets done in the same morning. In the early hours, the light through the rose window falls exactly on the altar, which is the most beautiful moment for photographing the interior.
Budgettips
Entry is free all year round, and a donation of one to two dollars is left for candles and maintenance of the bells. At the Sunday market nearby, you will find the cheapest corn bread, so combine shopping with your visit and cover part of your lunch cost.
Rekommenderas för
Lovers of Baroque art, Photographers looking for different shots, Families with children, Travelers eager for local customs

Snabba fakta: Cederträsaltaret i det inre lyser av förgyllning i nio lager även när bara ljus brinner. Sakristian gömmer 46 silverkalkar, av vilka den äldsta bär det ingraverade året 1652 och är över 370 år gammal.
Höjdpunkter: Före skörden av majs tänder församlingsborna i tre dagar 33 ljus framför skyddshelgonets bild, en sed som skrevs in i kyrkböckerna redan på 1700-talet. I det västra sidokapellet öppnar sig en unik utsikt över de terrasser som förfäderna högg ut, och i höstljuset kläds allt i guld.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the stone pavement is slippery in the rainy season, and the bell tower stairs are steep and narrow.
- The best photo is taken from halfway up the bell tower stairs about an hour before sunset, when the rooftops turn red in the last light.
- Skip Wednesday afternoon, as the interior is closed then due to a big cleaning after mass.
- Bring your own bottle of water because there is no fountain in the square, the nearest one is about a ten-minute walk toward the stream.
