Tulcán
Relatively few tourists venture this far north in Ecuador, right next to the Colombian border, but those who do will come across one of the country’s most intriguing sights. Tulcán is renowned for its unusual cemetery featuring over 300 elaborately trimmed cypress bushes, sculpted in all manner of shapes and patterns, including archways, animals, and people. In 2005, the cemetery was renamed after the man who founded it in 1936, Josè Maria Azael Franco.
