'Jamming Festival 2022': The event was canceled, but these are the plans you can make in Ibague

With fanfare, the 'Jamming Festival 2022' had been announced, which for some would be the perfect opportunity to revive the country's economy even more. Several entrepreneurs went into debt in order to bring their products to the event and who saw in it the opportunity to increase their profits among food, clothing, accessories, transportation and even the hotel sector saw an uptick in this activity.

However, in the morning, the Mayor's Office of Ibagué, working together with the Ministry of Culture of the municipality, reported in the morning the cancellation of the music festival that would bring together more than 50,000 people a day in Playa Hawaii, the perfect space where everything had been set up for the execution of the event that would bring together artists such as Don Omar, 1280 souls, UB40, including local talent.

In view of the cancellation of the musical show, Infobae Colombia presents you with a choice of plans that you can make in Ibague, which is recognized as the musical capital of Colombia and which, in addition to its excellent climate, offers its visitors a variety of ecological, night, recreation and leisure plans with the family.

Very close to the capital of Tolima, is the Psicilago Recreational Center, in which, taking advantage of the cancellation of the event 'Jamming Festival 2022', through their social networks they informed their followers and affiliates that this weekend its doors would also be open and there, they will be able to find attractions such as the pscipulpo, piscitornado, the pisciloca, the rain forest and endless attractions for adults and children.

Named after the Combeima River that provides water for much of the municipality of Ibagué, known for the temperature of its waters that come directly from Nevado del Tolima, in this incredible landscape you can find options for ecological tourism. For those who wish to visit the place, they will be able to find transport from the Plaza de Bolivar in the capital of Tolima, on the way you will find the best of the local cuisine among tamales, suckers and the different amasijos.

After a journey of 18 kilometers, you will reach the top of the Combeima Canyon and there you can see the river route, from the Mirador de los Sauces, and even pass by the cable car located in Juntas.

The Jamming Festival was not the only event that the capital of Tolima would have this festive bridge, because from last Thursday, March 17 to Saturday, March 19, the 36th Colombian Music Festival will be held, which for this opportunity will award a prize of 70 million pesos to the winner of this version.

This year, the festival, which will pay tribute to the department of Huila, seeks to highlight regional talent and thus contribute to the preservation of the legacy of great masters of music throughout history, from musical notes turned into guabinas, rajaleñas, corridors, waltzes and bambucos.

If your idea is to spend a weekend away from the noise and disorder of the city, this is the right time to visit the different places that Ibague has and its surroundings, for example, along the roads to Venadillo where you can try the best Cuban oats.

If your idea is not to leave without trying the gastronomic delights offered by the department, you cannot miss trying the suckling pig and tamales in the municipality of El Espinal and 15 minutes away, try the best cheese wrapped in banana leaf, in Guamo.

Near Ibagué you will find the Payandé Waterfalls, a geological structure that will allow you to bathe in the cold waters of 7 waterfalls where, as rumors from the locals tell, in the last of these, a mythological creature is asleep, which attracts locals and tourists.
