Excellent experience, a historical tour of the most representative sites of our Vallenato folklore. Without a doubt María Elisa was the perfect guide for this journey.

The history of Vallenato is known and lived with this route. Diomedez is my dad's idol, meeting his eldest daughter and having her heart connect with mine when talking about her father, made the trip pay for itself.

We learned about the life of Diomedes Diaz, we sang his songs, we loved the museum in Carrizal, the goat guided with coconut was delicious. Unmatched mountain landscape. Recommended for anyone who wants to go.
