One of the top places in the world to see Christmas lights is in Colombia.
The Christmas season in involves 31 million LED lights in addition to over 950 kilometers of rope lighting. The central node will be located in Carabobo Norte. The monumental figures can be seen in the North Park, which will have free admission, and there are many lights over the river. Lights are also spread through over 100 parks and neighborhoods.
Medellín is the only city in South America that is part of the assembly of illuminated cities of the world – LUCI- (Lighting Urban Community International).
It used to be that the lights officially switched on on December 7 to coincide with Little Candle’s Day, a major holiday in Colombia where people place candles in windows and other places in honor of the Virgin Mary.
