Following sixth street, we head towardsthe emblematic Parque Principal, whose traces and deeds over 191 years will be revealed before us. Here, in the heart of Salento, we immerse ourselves in a contextualization of the symbols that make up the park, from busts and flagstones to the shapes that define this unique space. div>

We continue our walk along the royal street, exploring places that serve as a refuge for the Salento people, away from mass tourism. On this journey, we talk about typical games, myths, legends, and the various aspects that make up the rich architectural heritage of Salento.

When we reach the stairs towards the Alto de la Cruz viewpoint, we stop at one of the oldest houses and architectural symbol of the town. We ascend the stairs as we explore the religious history of Salento, centered on the devotion to the Virgen del Carmen, and discover the projects that gave rise to these iconic stairs.

From Alto de la Cruz, we enjoyed a spectacular panoramic view of Salento, with the imposing church in the distance, a place that has captivated millions with its beauty. We descend towards the "Ecoparque Mirador", from where we contemplate the basin of the Cocora village, a place that houses the national tree: La Palma de Cera.

We began our descent through the 4th race, and headed towards the Photographic Museum, where images captured by the town`s inhabitants, reveal the evolution and transformation of Salento over time. This museum offers a unique perspective, allowing us to b>connect with history through photographs that tell the stories of the past.

We will conclude the tour by returning to the royal street, there you will have time to explore, buy souvenirs, capture photographs or enjoy other attractions that this charming town offers.
