Mateo drives the old road to Barrancabermeja on a Saturday midmorning, with Camila and Daniela riding along. They pass the La Renta rest stop, turn just after the stop sign, and in a little over fifty minutes they are already at the main gate of Altos de Yariguíes, the lot Mateo reserved a few months ago on the shore of the Topocoro Reservoir. This time nobody brought floor plans or a price sheet. The plan for the day is simple: walk the project's ecological trail all the way to the natural waterfall, and see for themselves whether Mateo is right when he says that buying here also means buying real nature, not just a number on a deed.
A trail that starts steps from the lot
Past the main gate, they park near Mateo's lot and step onto the ecological trail that cuts through the project's native forest. There is no city noise, just birds and dry leaves crunching underfoot. Camila, who expected something closer to a mowed park, is caught off guard by how dense the forest already feels a few minutes in: tall trees, real shade, and air that feels nothing like the Bucaramanga they left behind. Along the way they pass a neighbor walking a dog on the same trail, a small sign that this path is already part of someone's weekend routine.
A waterfall few people expect this close to home
The trail drops down to a natural waterfall, the same one shown in the project's own real photos and videos, no edits or renders involved. Daniela, who had been quietly wondering if the trip was worth a Saturday, wades straight into the cold water falling over moss covered rock, while Camila looks for the best angle for a photo. It is the kind of spot people expect to drive hours to find, not a short walk from the lot where Mateo plans to build, fifty minutes from Bucaramanga on a road thousands of people already drive every weekend.
From the waterfall to the panoramic pool, all in the same project
On the way back, the trail passes a blooming guayacán tree that leans out over the reservoir, one Mateo already knows well from walking the property on past weekends. From there it is only a few minutes to the social club: paved roads, solar powered street lighting and underground wiring, the same infrastructure already built across the whole project. They arrive just in time for the panoramic pool overlooking the reservoir, where they end the afternoon watching the sun go down over Topocoro with a drink at the social bar, before heading back through the gate toward Bucaramanga.
For Camila and Daniela, Mateo's lot stopped being an abstract idea. In a single Saturday they saw native forest, a real waterfall, a guayacán tree in bloom and a social club that is already built, all inside the same project and fifty minutes from the city. And for Mateo, it became even clearer why he chose a lot with its own independent title deed on the reservoir: it is not just an investment on paper, it is a place he genuinely wants to come back to, with or without friends along, every chance he gets.
