Place Colombia – Nariño – Pasto. Southwest side of the city.
Description This house type is common to many Andean towns in Colombia. It varies a bit from place to place in proportions, decorations and in how the balcony is set up. In this model, corresponding to the country's southern mountains, the second level is usually higher than the first one (some would say a little too high for a cold place).
