Tour description

⏰ We'll meet at Santander Park , the historic heart of the city, surrounded by iconic buildings. From there, we'll explore the Club del Comercio , a symbol of the social and business life of yesteryear, and the Sagrada Familia Church , a cultural and religious landmark.

We'll continue to the former Hotel Bucarica , now an academic space, and stop at the traditional Pastelería Berna , a culinary icon of Bucaramanga. On Bank Street, we'll learn about the city's financial history and sample traditional fruit juices.

Our tour continues along Paseo del Comercio , with its historic warehouses and El Gane's famous yuca empanadas . On Diagonal 15, we'll explore the Metrolínea transportation system and sample El Maná's specialty, "La Mestiza," at Panadería El Maná .

We'll visit the Edecanes Passage , where some of the best coffee in the world is served, and we'll enter the Casa de Bolívar and the Casa Luis Perú de la Croix , both converted into museums. We'll also visit the San Laureano Parish , one of the oldest in the city.

We close at García Rovira Park , the administrative center of Bucaramanga, and the Luis Carlos Galán Civic Plaza , a place of political memory in front of the Palace of Justice.
