Centro de Memoria "El Cuartico" Casa de Bahareque en Valledupar de la familia Jimenez Zuleta Casa De Bahareque ¨El Cuartico¨ Tesoro Vallenato. El cuartico es un lugar donde se conserva la esencia las costumbres y tradiciones del viejo Valledupar. Conocer este lugar es transportarnos a nuestro arraigo ancestral donde los recuerdos te despiertan la nostalgia de tu niñez. Estos recuerdos agrupados nos llevan a analizar nuestra historia de una manera diferente. Para los niños y jóvenes esto es una riqueza ya pérdida en los senderos del desarrollo urbanístico. Pero que los ayudara a profundizar lo que es el patrimonio cultural. Y tener orgullo de ser nativo de Valledupar. ¨Viva Valledupar¨

It's really great to see an architectural building, well, it was so hard to build it in that time, around 1920's. It's located between the Santiago and El Limón towns, one entrance is in Santiago and the exit in El Limón. You have the option to take a little wagon which you pay and it takes you through the tunnel, but I recommend to live the experience walking through the darkness and the cold inside the tunnel, it's more amazing, just need one hour and a half to finish the walking.

A PHOTOGRAPHERS DREAM! We loved exploring both the inside and outside of the Old City Walls of Cartagena. It is amazing that these walls still exist and standing after hundreds of years of history. Boy, if these walls could talk what stories they would tell. A MUST SEE when visiting Caratgena. BOTTOM LINE: What a fun place to see so much history in a compact area. You can wall atop many parts of the wall and get a different perspective of the old city, too. We found it fun strolling the old narrow cobblestone streets, seeing the Cartagena Cathedral, San Pedro Church, city hall, customs house square, shops, jewelry stores, historical statues, seeing street vendors, Yellow Clock squared and more. Plan to spend several hours strolling the streets and better appreciate the flavor of this walled old city. MY RATING: 9/10. Most of the old colonial homes have been nicely restored. You'll see some beautiful flowered balconies down every street. A photographers dream location. Photo and selfie stops around every corner!

Four hundred years ago jesuits established in Cartagena and founded a school and a church in downtown. During the XVII century a father called Pedro Claver dedicated all his life to the protection of the african slaves and became saint 300 hundred years later. To keep alive his legacy, jesuits came back to the city at the end of XIX century and started to collect pieces for a museum that includes precolombian, religious and african caribbean art and, of course, the chamber and other spaces where the saint lived and died. Nowadays it is the museum with the most complete collection of religious art in Colombian coast, and the building preserves the spirit of Claver, the spirit of Human Rights.

Not only is this a museum, it leads to the sanctuary. Within the exterior walls there is a wondrous courtyard full of plants and calm and quiet. The plants and flowers just light up the buildings. On three floors there are colections of ceramics of the saint's, his cell, the most complete collection of of religious art in the area, African arts and crafts both old and new. Workmen were working on the roof of the sanctuary and brought supplies up the narrow winding staircase from the sanctuary to the choral loft and on up to the bell tower. The tower was not available for viewing.

one of my favorite places is in el parque de las nieves in Girón, in this park I can eat delicious scraps and desserts, I can also take nice walks around because there are many beautiful and traditional sites, besides the park also has many trees and beautiful plants that make it more beautiful. Every time I visit the city, I can not miss visiting the park, it brings back many memories, and I also find it a relaxing place full of culture. The chapel that is in the park is very traditional and one of the most beautiful for me, besides that the whole park preserves a facade that also fits with the style of the church. Visiting this park makes me very happy.
