The tour combines culture, history, and nature in the so-called “Capital of the Magdalena River” and “Bamboo Capital of the Americas.”

We'll start the tour at the El Mohán vantage point, “the guardian of the Magdalena River,” the iconic El Mohán monument, with its 360° view of Neiva, where you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the city's urban and natural areas. The tour covers 17 km in our vehicle, passing by the city's most emblematic sites, such as Parque Andino (declared a National Historical and Architectural Heritage Site), the Train Station, Caballo Colombiano, Me Llevarás en Ti, La Lavandera, Los Guaduales, and Parque de los Niños.

You'll stroll along the riverfront, visiting the El Caracolí monument, the musical staff, and the mythological trail: a space dedicated to Huila's myths, such as the Candileja, the Duende, the Mohán, the Tunjo de Oro, the Madremonte, the Patasola, the Poira, and the Pollo Malo.

Another of Neiva's iconic monuments is La Gaitana, which recreates the leadership of the indigenous women of Huila in defending their land and family honour, as well as the resistance of the natives to the plundering of the conquest. Delight your palate with Huila snacks such as achira sponge cake, cuca, and Cóndor soft drink, unique flavours that tell the storey of the region.

The adventure doesn't end on dry land. We'll head to the Gaitana jetty, where our crew member will give you the relevant instructions and provide you with a life jacket so you can board the boat. The cruise will be the “Puerto Ángel,” a contemplative and interpretive tour lasting approximately 20 minutes, perfect for photographing birds such as ospreys, kingfishers, cormorants, and others.

After our relaxing ride in a traditional canoe, we will board the vehicle to continue the tour, passing by Puerto de las Damas, the Mother Earth monument, and Avenida Inés García de Durán, where you will see the eight sculptures representing the steps of our Sanjuanero Huilense, the traditional dance of the Department of Huila.

We'll continue the tour by visiting the Dome of the Antipodes and other sites in the “Ciudad Villamil” sculptural complex: to the south, Luna Roja 1, Plaza Cívica de los Libertadores (the city's former central market), the El Barcino monument, Santander Park, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the colonial church, the offices of the Government of Huila, the Los Potros monument, and the José Eustasio Rivera Convention Centre (inside the convention centre, there are 3 museums: Jorge Villamil, the Regional Archaeological Museum, and the Museum of Huilensidad. They are open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and are closed on Saturdays and Sundays). We'll then continue the tour to the Intihuantana monument and Luna Roja 2.

After four hours of learning about Opita culture, we will return to the same starting point.
