Then, you will take private transportation to the Zenú workshop in the '20 de Julio' neighborhood, where a group of Cartagena's Zenú women live. There, you will meet local artisans responsible for creating masterpieces like the emblematic Colombian symbol, the sombrero Vueltiao . In their workshop, they will teach you some of their weaving techniques preserved for over 3,000 years.
