Tour Overview
At the scheduled time, we will gather at the location you selected during your reservation and embark on a journey where tradition, culture, and gastronomy intertwine in the vibrant heart of Bucaramanga.
Our journey begins with a leisurely walk through Centenario Park, which historically served as the city’s transportation center, allowing us to take in the beauty of the Santander Theater. This architectural treasure has undergone renovations to restore its former glory, representing the cultural essence of the city.
Following our park visit, we will proceed to a renowned lunch counter that has been around for decades. Here, we will indulge in the famous queso de hoja and traditional Santander-style sausages, crafted from family recipes that have been preserved through generations.
Next, we will stop at a hat workshop, gaining insight into the significance of this accessory in rural lifestyles, where it reflects both identity and regional cultural pride.
Our exploration continues as we make our way to the Central Market Square. Here, we will explain how the products from this area have positioned Santander as a key agricultural region in Colombia. We will uncover the secrets of cassava, the rich avocado from San Vicente de Chucurí, and sample six different local fruits, including the famous pineapple from Lebrija. Additionally, we will investigate sections dedicated to handicrafts and medicinal plants.
To conclude our tour on a delightful note, we will enjoy a traditional meal at the market. You will have various options to choose from, including carne oreada, flank steak, the well-loved Santander-style mute soup, or the celebrated pepitoria, made with goat offal. Savor the flavors!
