Comment 'Rigo' Illuminated Anolaima. The soap opera 'Rigo' has brought to light the magic of Anolaima. This is the charming town that served as the setting to narrate the life of cyclist Rigoberto Urán.
The new RCN soap opera, 'Rigo', has captured the attention of the Colombian public by telling the inspiring story of cyclist Rigoberto Urán and his struggle to become one of the country's most outstanding athletes.
In the first chapters, the production transports us to Rigo's hometown, Urrao, in Antioquia. However, what many viewers do not know is that these scenes were not filmed in Urrao, but in a charming municipality near Bogotá: Anolaima, in the department of Cundinamarca.
Anolaima, with its picturesque landscape in the Eastern Andes, turned out to be the perfect setting to recreate the charm of the Antioquia towns. The temperate climate and its strategic location made this municipality an ideal place to capture Rigo's adventures on his bicycle.
If you are in Bogotá and want to visit Anolaima, there are different routes you can take to reach this beautiful municipality. The most convenient option is to take the exit from Calle 13, which will take you directly to Anolaima. It is also possible to take the route via Vía 80, although the travel time may be a bit longer.
Once on the road, you must pay attention to the signs that indicate the way to Anolaima and avoid diverting to other destinations such as Cachipay or La Florida. As you get closer, you can enjoy the beautiful landscapes and the peaceful atmosphere that characterize this charming town.
Anolaima, known as the fruit capital of Colombia, offers its visitors a wide variety of delicious fruits. Oranges, tangerines, mangoes, blackberries, pineapples, and peaches are just some of the options you can find in this municipality.
Thanks to its location in the Eastern Andes, Anolaima has different climates that allow the cultivation of various fruits throughout the year.
Every year, Anolaima dresses up in colors and joy to celebrate the Corpus Christi Festival, a festivity that mixes the sacred with the profane and that is a living example of the region's culture and tradition.
The festival is known for its elaborate processions, where the streets are adorned with flower carpets and the locals parade in colorful costumes. Music, dances, and typical cuisine complement an unforgettable show.
During the festival, you can immerse yourself in the local culture through workshops and activities that will allow you to learn about the art of floristry, local cuisine, and much more.
The festival is not only an explosion of joy and color but also an expression of the community's faith. Participate in the masses and religious events held to commemorate Corpus Christi and feel the community spirit of Anolaima.
