Description

Description

We will gather at our meeting point to start this San Felipe Castle Free Tour. With this activity you will be transported to the intense confrontations between European powers that occurred in this territory. You will be able to explore the castle through its canyons, tunnels, bridges, ramps, stairs and even a hospital that witnessed significant moments in history. This exciting tour of approximately 2 hours will take you through the strategic construction of the fort on the San Lázaro hill, which was subjected to several sieges and attacks. You will be able to explore one of the most intriguing aspects of the Castle: its intricate system of underground tunnels. These tunnels served both to transport supplies and to facilitate strategic troop movements. Be part of this journey through time and discover the secrets kept by the imposing walls of the San Felipe Castle.
