Centro Cultural La Provincia
The La Provincia Cultural Center is located on the beach the Caribbean city of Cartagena in Colombia. We offer tourists a variety of activities related to the culture of the Colombian countryside. Here you can participate in a traditional vallenato parranda, learn to dance cumbia, prepare typical dishes and drinks, learn about the world-renowned Colombian coffee and practice the art of artisanal fishing with local fishermen.
Centro Cultural La Provincia also collaborates with social organizations, which can make free use of the facilities for the implementation of courses and conferences. We believe that a strong civil society that feels proud and happy to be Colombian are factors that contribute to a prosperous and peaceful Colombia.
