The Boyacá town that stands out for its rural charm and its gastronomy: the best country lunches are made here.

The mountainous and green surroundings of the municipality are ideal for those who enjoy ecotourism, hiking, and bird watching.

In addition, the Radio Sutatenza Museum preserves the educational legacy of the priest José Joaquín Salcedo and his radio schools project , considered a benchmark in rural education in the country.

Other points of interest include the municipality's colonial church, the main park, and rural farms that allow visitors to experience country life.

@arcedeviaje 📻 In Colombia, a radio station changed lives ⬇️❤️‍🩹 👨🏻‍🏫 In the 1950s, peasants who could neither read nor write listened to classes while they planted crops or tended to their livestock. If they demonstrated they could read and write, they could go to the Caja Agraria (Agrarian Fund) and buy a special radio for 600 pesos (reduced price). 🐂 At first, they learned in a deferred manner, and then trained leaders traveled (even in ox-drawn trucks) to teach the peasants in person. 📚 Radio Sutatenza educated men and women, talking about health, agriculture, mathematics, family... and even sex education. 💛 All thanks to the vision of Father José Joaquín Salcedo and people like José Arnoldo Candela, who still work in his memory today (it's incredible to hear him speak and see how, out of eternal gratitude, he volunteers for the museum's love of the project without receiving anything in return, other than tips that he won't ask for, but it would be nice if you considered them if you visit). #colombia #travel #radiosutatenza #boyacá #sutatenza ♬ original sound - Arce de Viaje | Mochilero 🌎

Sutatenza's cuisine is another attraction. Dishes such as shelled corn arepa, typical stews, and fresh fruits from the high plateau reflect the region's culinary richness.

Added to this are local festivals and fairs that offer an opportunity to experience the community's music, dance, and hospitality firsthand.

With its blend of cultural heritage, nature, and rural life, Sutatenza is projected as a benchmark for sustainable tourism in Colombia.
