We will journey back to the year 1572, exploring the origins of Guaduas and its connections to the Spanish crown. You will learn about its role as a crucial transit hub between Bogotá and Honda while observing the remnants of the old Camino Real. 

As we navigate the streets of Guaduas, you will encounter notable locations such as Constitution Square, the Cathedral of San Miguel Arcángel, the Casa Consistorial, and the monument to Galán, who led the 'comuneros' uprising, a coalition of farmers and artisans. While visiting the Policarpa Salavarrieta House, we will share stories of this revered figure of Colombian independence, commonly referred to as 'La Pola' .
