This weekend kicks off the Puente de Todos los Santos, Colombia's All Saints long weekend running from October 31 through November 2, and in Bucaramanga you can already feel it: group chats are full of people deciding where to go. While plenty of people are planning a long drive, there is an experience that needs no reservation and no early start on the highway: the ecological trail and natural waterfall at Altos de Yariguíes, 50 minutes from the city on the old road to Barrancabermeja. This is not a someday plan. The trail is already there, today, inside the project.
A Trail That Is Already There, Not One You Have to Imagine
Altos de Yariguíes has ecological trails running through native forest, part of the infrastructure that is already built, not drawn on a plan. You do not have to wait for a future stage to walk them: they are there now, connecting the project to the natural setting around the Topocoro Reservoir. For anyone looking for a long weekend plan that does not mean hours in the car, that changes the question. Instead of asking how far away the plan is, the question becomes how often you could actually come if the lot were yours. With two access gates and a paved road already leading into the project, reaching the start of the trail does not depend on the season or the condition of a dirt road.
The Waterfall at the End of the Path
The trail leads to a natural waterfall, documented with real photos and video of the actual site, not renderings. It is the kind of place you would expect to have to travel far for, with a paid entrance and a line of cars, and here it sits just a short walk from the lot.
The water falls over moss covered rock into a natural pool, surrounded by dense forest, a direct contrast to the pace of the city many people are leaving behind this long weekend. It is not a place you visit once and cross off a list. It is part of what is already built and available every weekend, long weekend or not.
A Long Weekend Plan That Does Not End This Weekend
The real appeal of owning a lot at Altos de Yariguíes is not solving this one long weekend. It is no longer needing a long weekend to justify walking a trail or sitting by a waterfall. Proyecto Girasoles finances its buyers directly, with no banks involved: reserving a lot is possible starting at $20,000,000 COP, with Stage 1 financing available for up to 7 months. It is a concrete way to think about this not as a getaway for one long weekend, but as a place of your own to come back to on any ordinary Saturday, with the trail, the waterfall, and the social club already built and waiting.
This long weekend, while some people sit in traffic looking for a destination, others are already deciding to build their own next to the Topocoro Reservoir. The trail and the waterfall are only the beginning of what there is to explore.
