1. We start in Plaza de Bolívar greeting to the sun, the hills, and the territory, connecting with its ancestral energy through singing and dancing. Telling the history of the place, from what was there before the spanish invaders came to conquer this territory to the modern-day activities that are aimed at reconstituting the Muisca (Indigenous ethnicity that used to live in this territory and currently are in the process of restoring their culture) legacy and culture in the city.
