This traditional Colombian culture still exists, and each small town is unique in its own way, boasting a speciality that is waiting to be discovered. El Retiro is known for its beautiful plazas, and talent in woodworking. We will stroll around the town, learn about the traditional Paisa culture, and admire the quaint streets.
