💡 Check if a mass is happening (usually 7am or 6pm) — visitors welcome. Dress modestly; no shorts inside.

💡 Bring your own water and snacks — no kiosks inside. Best on weekday mornings when it's almost empty.

Central square with a statue of Simón Bolívar, shaded benches, and a colonial-era church at one end. Locals gather here most evenings.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Go around 5pm when the heat drops and the church bells ring. Street vendors sell cheap arepas and cane sugar drinks.

Small waterfall about 5km east of town, accessible by a short dirt path through farmland. The pool at the bottom is safe for wading.

💡 Take a colectivo from the main square (cheap, 10 mins) or walk. No facilities — pack out all rubbish. Best after rain season (June–November).
