We'll begin this adventure with a tour of Zapatoca's historic district, where we'll visit the main park, centuries-old churches, colonial streets with striking facades, and other attractions.
Later we will visit the Campo Santo and the tomb of the German Geo Von Lenguerke , who stood out in the area for the construction of the first cobblestone roads through which various products from the region arrived.
From there we will head to the Guane Lookout, from where we will appreciate the majesty of the Canyon formed by the Chicamocha and Suarez rivers and have panoramic views of eight municipalities in Santander.
Finally, we'll visit the El Quijote House-Museum, a museum inspired by the work of Don Quixote de la Mancha and his squire, where there are small sculptures that beautifully narrate real-life situations.
