 Where to go (places to visit) 🚀

Chiman Lake 🌀

This lagoon has the shape of a fish, and its “eye” is a small round island. In the past, locals used to visit it to relax and fish. If you go fishing here, you will feel the calm of nature. You must bring your fishing gear, but you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy it.


El Margarital Lake. 🌊

You can ride a horse up the mountain to reach this natural lake. When I visited, I saw a spectacular view of the town and its mountains. If you climb up, you will get one of the best panoramas in Silvia. You must not forget to take water with you, because the trail can be demanding.


Belen Church. ⛪

This church offers a panoramic view of Silvia. In the past, people used to walk up the stony path, but now there is also access for vehicles. If you walk up, you will enjoy the scenery step by step. Visitors must respect the sacred space, but they don’t have to pay to enter.


Principal Park. 🏪

Here you find the heart of Guambiana culture. You must talk to artisans who sell handmade wool bags, “mostacilla” bracelets, and earrings. If you try out local food like natural cheese, pandebono, or hot panela, you feel the warmth of Silvia. You would like to taste trout, a typical dish of the region.


El Placer Farm ☕

This farm shows the coffee process of the region. In the past, families used to grow coffee only for local use, but now it is shared with visitors. You must learn how coffee is harvested and roasted because it is part of Silvia’s identity.

Old Carmen Mill. ⛾

Founded in 1915, this mill processed wheat harvested in the region. If you visit it today, you will discover a piece of history that shaped Silvia’s economy. You must admire its architecture, but you must not damage the old structure.

Silvia - My travel experience. Have you ever wondered why travelers choose Silvia, a small town in the mountains of Cauca, as a destination? In the past, many people used to think it was unsafe, but the reality changed, and today it is known for peace and cultural richness. If you go to Silvia, you must respect the traditions of its indigenous communities. Visitors must be prepared for the cool climate, but they don’t have to spend much to enjoy the landscapes. You must not ignore the importance of local customs, because they are part of what makes the town unique. In Silvia, if someone walks through the streets, they find colorful markets and welcoming people. And if you visit the town, you will feel as if you were in another world. I would like to invite readers to discover Silvia, often called the Switzerland of America, a place where history and nature blend in harmony.
