Trip to Buga
At 8:30 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cali. Just one hour later we'll arrive in the picturesque Colombian city of Buga in the Valle del Cauca.
We'll begin our tour of Buga by visiting its main attraction: the Minor Basilica of the Lord of Miracles. There, we'll talk about why this city is one of the main pilgrimage centres in Colombia. Every year, thousands of the faithful flock to Buga to pray and ask for protection for their loved ones.
During the tour inside the church, we'll admire the works of sacred art that this temple, inaugurated on 2 August 1907, houses.
