About this experience
We will visit Silvia, Cauca, where you will explore the ancestral traditions of a millenary culture where soil and water coexist as sacred elements of the Misak also known as Guambianos. The MISAK inhabit an environment of unique nature, which forms the basis of their economy and wisdom as represented in the colors of their clothing. With their agricultural products, they enrich the traditional farmers market, turning it into an exotic and colorful experience.
This experience lasts about 14 hours where we will begin our journey in Cali and then head over to Silvia Cauca where we will experience an authentic indigenous tradition first hand.
