Send Flowers to Pasto, Colombia

Pasto is the capital of Nariño in the far south of Colombia, a highland city at the foot of the Galeras volcano, close to the Ecuadorian border and to the Laguna de la Cocha. It is best known for the UNESCO-listed Carnaval de Negros y Blancos in early January. Pastusos abroad send flowers to family for birthdays, Mother's Day and condolences.

The Día de la Madre on the second Sunday of May is the main flower date in Pasto, as across Colombia. The carnival in the first week of January is when emigrants most miss home, and a bouquet for the family is a thoughtful gesture. For funerals, wreaths and white arrangements are sent to the velación, and the family holds novena prayers.

Order before midnight Colombian time and your flowers are delivered the next day in Pasto. Include the recipient's phone number: the florist calls ahead and rearranges if nobody is home. Roses, lilies, mixed bouquets and plants are usually available; in a highland city some varieties may be replaced with a close equivalent.
