Outside visit

Camellon

Ubicada sobre toda la carrera primera de la ciudad, es el punto más emblematico y de flujo turistico más importante de la ciudad, alrededor de 1,2km de Mar abierto, para observar el atardecer, dentro de la bahía esta la estatua de Rodrigo de Bastidas, quien fue el que nos descubrio en 1501, en el segundo descubrimiento de las indias junto a Cristobal Colón. (Zona de los jugos, es un punto clave, ya sea para que el turista se dirija acompañado del guía para degustar o vaya por su cuenta).

Outside visit

Parque de los Novios

Este Parque solía ser un lago en el que los amores prohibidos en el tiempo de la conquista e independencia del país, venian a confirmar su amor, luego fue el primer mercado público, conocido como Plaza Vieja o la Plaza de la Carniceria; Cuando se construye el palacio de justicia, ubicado en un lado de la plaza, y la escuela principal, debido a esto, pasa a llamarse Plaza de Madrid, por último toma el nombre de plaza Santander porque la estatua de este libertador se traslada a esta plaza.
