For a great view of the high peaks and the green lowlands of the Andean countryside, you need go no further than Zumbahua. Just 15km west of Tigua, you can hike over to Zumbahua and get excellent information from the locals on all of the nearby trailheads that lead into the lush, green hills and Andean mountaintops. You’re also invited to certain portions of the Saturday market, although the big feast and brawling party on Friday nights is strictly off limits to tourists—this party will also make it difficult to find a hotel and there are no real food options.
