Pamplona and activities
Our City
Between the mystery of its architecture and the quiet charm of its streets, Pamplona offers it all. As you explore the city, its museums, and its tourist sites, you will appreciate the legacies of the colonial era and the religious splendor that established a culture of churches, convents, streets, and even lush colonial and republican mansions that still speak to the unmistakable past of the "Ciudad Mitrada" today.
Its name pays tribute to the capital of the province of Navarre, Pamplona, Spain, and it was founded on November 1, 1549, by Don Pedro de Ursúa and Don Ortún Velasco. With a cool climate, the best way to discover Pamplona is by wandering its streets, which are steeped in tradition and culture, enjoying the breeze and the warmth of its people. Throughout its nearly 500-year history, Pamplona has offered art, architecture, religion, ecotourism, and excellent gastronomy.
The charming city reveals, through its streets, mansions, and museums, the architecture of memorable moments and colonial times that buried the legacy of the Hulago tribe. For today's inhabitants, it remains a hospitable and kind culture, rooted in the nature of the original Chibcha-speaking settlement.
These indigenous people inhabited these lands as early as 1000 B.C. In 1530, they were named the Chitareros by their Spanish conquerors and were immediately forced into a process of mestizaje and conquest, as their lands contained the precious metals that fueled Spanish greed.
