PARQUE CERRO DEL SANTISIMO

The Ecopark Cerro del Santísimo is a tourist site located in Vereda Helechales, rural sector of Floridablanca (Santander), known for having a sculpture of El Santísimo, a large artistic sculpture 35 m high including its 6-meter pedestal, which includes a triptych structure with two panoramic elevators and a staircase to allow access to the main viewpoint, which is 40 m high and from which there is a panoramic view of Floridablanca and part of Bucaramanga. It is a pilgrimage site during Holy Week, especially to perform the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. It has a cable car system of 1,380 m to access the park in 5 minutes from Hacienda La Esperanza (an old house located in the surroundings of the urban area of Floridablanca, headquarters of the old Clausen Brewery, the first brewery in the country). It was inaugurated on June 20, 2015 by the then Governor of Santander, Richard Aguilar Villa.
