Valledupar (Valley of Upar) was founded in 1550 by Captain Hernando de Santana - a Spanish conquistador and the one who gave the name of the capital city of Cesar Department in Colombia in honor of the Amerindian cacique who ruled the valley, Cacique Upar. The city is the home to the popular folk music in Colombia, Vallenato - a way of telling popular legends and myths through a musical rhythm. Valley of Upar is a cultural centre where numerous activities and events take place each week. You might have heard of Vallenato Music Festival, which happens annually during April and plan to book a plane ticket and hotel right away to witness this event.
