Santuario Católico del Señor de los Milagros de Andacocha, Catholic sanctuary in Guachapala Canton, Ecuador
The Santuario del Señor de los Milagros de Andacocha features modern architectural design elements combined with traditional local construction techniques in its white walls and towers.
In 1957, farmer Manuel Corte Juela discovered a small religious image while working in his field, leading to the establishment of this Catholic sanctuary.
The sanctuary holds a three-day festival from September 13 to 15, gathering thousands of pilgrims who participate in religious processions and traditional dances.
Located 5 kilometers from Guachapala center and 40 minutes from Cuenca, the sanctuary maintains regular mass schedules and receives visitors throughout the year.
The original religious image measures only 12 centimeters in length and 9 centimeters in width, yet attracts devotees from Ecuador and neighboring countries.
