Attending the Festival del Tamborito not only offers you a unique cultural experience but also supports the local community, local businesses, and the transmission of cultural traditions to the younger generations. It's an opportunity to celebrate and appreciate the rich heritage of Nuquí and interact with the local culture in a meaningful way.
