My trip with Paseo Vallenato Tours along the route of the historic center of Valledupar - My trip with Paseo Vallenato Tours along the route of the historic center of Valledupar was an enriching experience that immersed me in the cultural and folkloric wealth of this fascinating city. The colonial alleys, silent witnesses of centuries past, transported me to another era as I explored legends and heard stories that resonated in every stone. The company's service and attention were exceptional, guiding me with passionate knowledge through Valledupar's best kept secrets. I discovered the essence of vallenato music in its cradle, letting myself be carried away by the ancestral rhythms that resonated in every corner. Traditions and cultural heritage were intertwined at every step, creating an unforgettable bond with the land and its people. Valledupar, with its vibrant historic center, gave me not only a visit, but an authentic immersion in the Vallenato identity. Thanks to Paseo Vallenato Tours, this journey became an indelible chapter in my travel history.

Rivers Tour - The guide was very kind, explaining everything to us, taking photos, even singing vallenatos composed by him and the other exponents of this beautiful culture. La Mina's puppies are very thin, I think the agency could arrange some help for them. The landscapes were beautiful and everything included in the visit, however, we found the value charged per person very expensive (even making a generous account of what is included, it would not be that high) and even more so considering that we were a group.
