Hacienda Piedechinche: an architectural gem that reflects the essence of traditional Valle del Cauca architecture. Here, you can relive life from bygone eras, exploring the customs, utensils, and furniture characteristic of the colonial period. The Sugar Cane Museum offers a tour through different stations showcasing traditional sugar mills from various regions of Colombia. This experience allows visitors to understand the evolution of these machines over time and their value within the country's agricultural history. All of this takes place in a spectacular natural setting, surrounded by birds, majestic trees, flower gardens, and streams that create a tranquil and enchanting atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Hacienda El Paraíso is renowned for its architectural beauty and lush gardens. Built in the 19th century, it combines colonial elements and is considered a symbol of the cultural heritage of the Valle del Cauca region. It is also famous for having been the setting of the novel María by Jorge Isaacs, one of the most representative works of Latin American Romantic literature. After the tour of the selected site, we will enjoy a typical Valle del Cauca lunch and continue to Buga, where we will visit the centuries-old Basilica of the Lord of Miracles and have time to purchase religious items or souvenirs.
