“From 9 am, the Botanical Garden will be transformed into a large reading room. Each of its spaces will represent a Colombian river, and there will be held, until 5 pm, various activities that invite children, families and, in general, all attendees to explore and arouse their curiosity, as well as love for nature and, of course, for literature. We will have readings aloud, music, workshops, movies, puppets, book presentations, tours of the garden and other cultural offerings that cannot be missed”, says Carlos Ramírez, manager of Literature at Idartes.
