This is a tour where you will go through the most emblematic streets and its representative squares of a historically resistant town, its folklore, its colors, its music and its people. Get closer to the Getsemanicence culture through our tour where you will understand the importance of a segregated and insurgent people during the colony. Today you will find a tourist neighborhood with original inhabitants, heirs of a rich culture that at first sight hides stories and legends of revolution, pride and tradition.
