What to expect
Plaza principal
Be guided by the living history of Turbaco in the company of iconic characters who embody our past and our present. The starting point will be the main square, where we will discover the legacy of the Monument to the Yurbaco Indians. Here you will not only hear the story, you will live it! You will be part of an exciting interactive staging that relives the Spanish siege and the last moments of the celebrated cartographer Juan de la Cosa. After the dramatic denouement, you will join the historical procession to symbolically charge the character to his eponymous monolith, a monument full of mystique that was presented to Turbaco by the Spanish government. But the adventure does not end there: from there we will move to the emblematic Casa de Tejas, where we will open the doors of mystery to enter the old room occupied by the Mexican dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna himself.
