Las Cuadrillas is one of the main events. It consists of groups of people wearing costumes that go to different houses while dancing, singing, and drinking &#8220;guarapo,&#8221; a refreshing fermented drink made of pineapple skin and brown sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Where:<\/strong>&nbsp;Riosucio, Caldas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong>&nbsp;First week of January.

You can also visit the city&#8217;s many colonial churches and cathedrals, which is like going back 500 years in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the processions, you will hear choirs and religious music in the churches, where you don&#8217;t have to pay to enter. There is a religious music festival, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Tuesday to Saturday before Easter, five processions are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, the Holy Cross, the Holy Burial, and the Resurrection. These Catholic belief events take place between 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Where:<\/strong>&nbsp;Popay\u00e1n, Cauca<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong>&nbsp;Holy Week (end of March or beginning of April)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number of days:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type:<\/strong>&nbsp;Religious<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More information<\/strong>:&nbsp;<a data-lasso-id=\"10921\" href=\"https:\/\/www.juntasemanasantapopayan.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.procesionespopayan.com\/la-junta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><strong><strong><strong>Best festivals in Colombia: April<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover how to fully enjoy <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/april-in-colombia-is-it-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"107475\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"197168\">Colombia in April<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>9# Estereo Picnic, Bogota<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Este\u0301reo Picnic 2022, \u00bfcomo se vivieron los tres di\u0301as? |\u00a0El Tiempo\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zHcbSwyYI6I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Estereo Picnic Festival is a Colombian version of America&#8217;s Lollapalooza.
