On this route, it’s impossible to pass by without noticing the vast brown patch that colors the green plains that make up the landscape. This is the result of thousands of Romo Sinuano cattle, a breed native to the region, which makes this department the largest cattle producer in the country. Alongside these herds flows the mighty Sinú River, a 300-kilometer-long serpent that traverses the territory and shapes the lives of the Cordobans. Likewise, its mangroves and beaches in San Bernardo del Viento, Tolú, and Coveñas are sought-after relaxation destinations for tourists in search of tranquility. While these characteristics define the region and make it unique and marvelous, they are certainly not the only ones.

Córdoba is a land rich in craftsmanship, and a culinary paradise. We want you to witness firsthand the caña flecha in Tuchín, the raw material used to weave the renowned sombrero vueltiao, and to discover the palma de seje in Ayapel, which is used to create unique crafts in the country. We also want you to see how totumo is handled in San Antero and to immerse yourself in Lorica’s beauty. To truly complete this journey, you need to indulge in its delights. This route will be your opportunity to savor the fusion of culinary heritages resulting from the crossroads of cultures: indigenous and African roots, along with Syrian-Lebanese and Spanish influences. Taste the hearty mote de queso soup, loaded with yam, bocachico fish freshly caught and flavored with corozo juice, or a caraqueña de cola. Top it off with sweet coconut or guava treats, or a mongo mongo dessert made with plantains, cloves, and mamey. Enjoy their succulent meats and take a horseback ride through cattle farms. Each landscape brings its own flavor, and it’s well worth embracing delight because this department is full of wonders crafted by skilled hands.
