Description
Embark on a journey to explore the rich indigenous culture of Colombia on this immersive day trip. Experience first-hand the traditions of one of the country’s most age-old ethnic communities as we visit the Inga community in Sibundoy.
Exploration of the Inga Community in Sibundoy
Our adventure begins at 7:30 am, where we’ll gather beside the Antonio Nariño statue before heading off to the captivating region of Sibundoy.
Leaving behind the lush Amazon rainforest, we’ll traverse through the stunning Andean mountain ranges before arriving at the picturesque Sibundoy Valley in the northwest Putumayo region. Upon arrival, we’ll delve into the heart of an Inga or Camsá community, known for their deep cultural roots in this part of Colombia.
Inhabited by members of the tribe, we will gain insight into their vibrant traditions and customs as they guide us through their village and homes. We’ll also discover the secrets of traditional medicine, a wisdom that has been meticulously preserved through generations.
As we explore, the core principles of the Andean perspective as understood by the Ingas will be shared with us, along with a visit to the chagras, which are small agricultural plots integral to their way of life.
At midday, we’ll savor a nutritious meal prepared from local ingredients, followed in the afternoon by a harmonizing spiritual ceremony designed to leave you feeling revitalized and at peace.
Concluding our remarkable experience, we’ll board our vehicle for the return trip to the start point in Pasto, where we expect to arrive around 5:30 pm.
