What you can expect

  • What used to be the Banana Zone of Magdalena today is concentrated in the Prado Sevilla. This municipality was created on August 9, 1999, and is composed of the towns of RiofrĆ­o, Sevilla, Guacamayal, Santa RosalĆ­a, La Gran VĆ­a, Soplador, Guamachito, Tucurinca Palomar, Orihueca and Varela, bordering with CiĆ©naga, Aracataca, the Sierra Nevada from Santa Marta and Pueblo Viejo. With this tour we intend to show the leading role played by banana cultivation in the economic, social and cultural development of this part of the Caribbean Region, and its effects on the rest of the Colombian territory. So decisive was that many of the stories that our Nobel Prize for Literature Gabriel GarcĆ­a MĆ”rquez narrated through his works were based on his childhood experiences in his native Aracataca and on the stories he heard from his grandparents about the history of Magdalena Grande , which at that time covered what is today La Guajira, Cesar and Magdalena Our itinerary starts in Santa Marta, right at the station that is in the heart of the banana zone; We will pass through the Pozos Colorados area and then take the road that leads to CiĆ©naga, the second most important town in the department of Magdalena and epicentre of this history. Then the trip will take us into the old banana zone of Magdalena and we will arrive at the old area of El Prado, in the municipality of Seville, where the employees of the United Fruits Company, known by the locals with ā€œLa Yunaiā€, lived.
