The Feria de las Flores in Medellín showcases stunning flower arrangements and parades. Vallenato music, born in the Caribbean region, tells stories through accordion-led melodies. The San Pedro Festival in Huila features traditional games and beauty pageants. Coffee rituals are deeply ingrained in daily life, especially in the Zona Cafetera.
