This is one of several churches in Colombia dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. Inaugurated in 1932, it was elevated to a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II in 2003, making it a pilgrimage site in the country.

This bridge, which seems completely improvised, is actually a gateway to a wonderful mountain trail.

The La Plata area is a small tourist corridor along the old road to Santagüeda. In this area there are several summer farms, an indigenous community called Ambacheke with a population of 90 people, this population has been in the municipality of Palestine for more than 30 years and has a governor.

Arauca is a district under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Palestina (Caldas). Located on a ravine on the right bank of the Cauca River, it is an active point that links the center of the Department of Caldas with the Lower West. The name "Arauca" appears mentioned in the stories of the civil wars, at the same time that La Margarita is mentioned as one of the most important estates in that sector. In the forties and fifties of the twentieth century, its boom was unusual because it was an active train station. If one got on in Arauca, one could go directly to La Virginia, to many cities in the Cauca Valley. People and merchandise in all directions. Many of the employees of the vacation centers and condominiums in the La Rochela sector live in Arauca. In this district, construction materials are extracted from the Chinchiná River and tributaries of the Cauca. Arauca has an active trade. Especially, the purchase of coffee and cocoa.

This was the old road to the municipality of Palestine, but it was closed due to tectonic faults that passed through the site and the poor management of the waters that have helped lead to the end of this road.

It is located on the Pan-American highway between Chinchiná and Manuela, along this same road is the FODUN recreational headquarters (fund of teaching employees of the National University of Colombia). If you enter through this road, you will exit at the other tollbooth, the Pavas tollbooth.

It is a safe, wide, well-signposted route in perfect conditions. On this route from the hill we can say to the city of Cali, the township of Rozo, the Alfonzo Bonilla Aragón International Airport, and the city of Palmira.

Very good route 😃😃
