Juan Manuel Santos left the Casa de Nariño at 3:30 p.m. accompanied by his wife María Clemencia and his children Martín, María Antonia and Esteban. The presidential family was followed by twenty children dressed in white to Plaza Núñez. Upon his arrival, Santos and his family greeted thirty members of Congress who were waiting for him in the gallery. The band of the José María Córdoba Military Cadet School performed honors, officially starting the ceremony. The philharmonics of the National Army, the National Navy, the Air Force and a Youth Choir of thirty children performed the National Anthem of Colombia. Santos received the oath and the presidential sash from the president of the Senate, José David Name. 20 salutes were fired by the forces of the Presidential Guard, from the Bridge of Boyacá, to greet the president, after which Santos administered the vice presidential oath to Germán Vargas Lleras as vice president of Colombia.[5]

José David Name, President of the Senate, made a small intervention. Santos continued with his inaugural speech of 35 minutes and 32 seconds. The president reviewed the troops accompanied by the Minister of Justice Juan Carlos Pinzon and the Generals of the Military Forces, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Army, the National Navy, the Air Force and the National Police, where he received Military Honors from the Presidential Guard.
