Discover Cuitiva: Chapel and Pueblito Antiguo at Lake Tota

When planning your trip to Cuitiva, it is worth considering several themes: the Capilla Doctrinera in the town center, the landscape and waters of Laguna de la Tota within the municipality, and the nature and technology themes at Pueblito Antiguo. The town center and the municipality are different points of reference.

The Capilla Doctrinera in the town center

The Capilla Doctrinera de Cuítiva is located in the town center. An inventory from 2015 dates its construction to 1537 and attributes it to the Franciscan missionaries and Don Juan de San Martín. The date and the named people give the chapel a specific historical context. Religious celebrations are held at the chapel. If you want to include such celebrations in your travel plans, check the specific dates in advance. The construction date and the celebrations serve different purposes: the year provides historical context, while the celebrations may be relevant to specific travel dates.

Landscape and Pueblito Antiguo

There are places in the municipality of Cuítiva where you can enjoy the landscape and waters of Laguna de la Tota. The Reserva Natural Pueblito Antiguo o Lago de Tota is also located in the municipality of Cuítiva. Pueblito Antiguo is a theme park on Lake Tota that promotes environmental education. The landscape and waters offer a focus on nature, while environmental education adds an informative perspective. When planning, you can therefore consider both the lake and landscape and ecological themes.

At Pueblito Antiguo, you can enjoy the landscape, go on ecological hikes, and learn about the history and development of machinery in Colombia. These themes offer different perspectives: ecological hikes engage with the surroundings, while learning about machinery focuses on history and technology. Comparing nature experiences with the history of technology gives you a concrete basis for deciding which activity best matches your interests.
