First, we visit El Gallineral Natural Park, a verdant paradise between the Fonce River and the Curití Ravine, with trails surrounded by centuries-old trees covered with hanging moss (“old man's beards”), heliconias, and wildlife such as playful squirrels jumping between the branches – ideal for amazing photos.
    We continue to the Bridge of Padlocks, a romantic symbol where couples seal their love with eternal padlocks, and pass through the historic center with the beautiful 18th-century Cathedral of Santa Cruz and the Plazoleta de los Indígenas.

    Don't miss the Casona de las Artesanías to see and buy typical products, and a visit to the local market to taste the flavors of Santander. We finish at the Mirador de la Cruz vantage point, with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Fonce River.
