For some time now, communes and favelas have been associated with complex and sometimes dangerous social contexts. However, thanks to community work and the different initiatives of cultural and artistic collectives, these neighborhoods have become an example of transformation and territorial appropriation. Today, visiting them is not just a way to learn their history but also to support these proposals that seek to preserve their heritage while showcasing the impact art and culture have on the community.

To get there, you will also use public transportation: Transmilenio and Metrocable. From the Metrocable, you’ll have the best panoramic views of the southern part of the city. After ascending the mountain, you’ll walk through colorful streets and alleys filled with urban art. You’ll visit a small museum, taste traditional flavors, learn about the diversity and history of these neighborhoods, and return with fresh, broader perspectives on the city.

Join us on one of the must-do activities in the Amazon Rainforest: a birdwatching tour deep in the magical jungle. An expert guide and birder will lead you through the forest, where you'll learn about endemic birds and the Amazonian fauna and flora.

You’ll also discover a foundation created with the goal of helping people discover life outside of crime. A foundation including three separate, but equally important schools. The first is for children, which also provides two meals a day they would not receive at home. The second and third schools were created for the adults of this zone. A place where they will learn the skills needed to create products that can be sold to feed their families as an alternative to their previous lives of crime. In the woman’s school, they are taught how to weave with traditional methods, producing ponchos, mats, hats, and bracelets, amongst other products. And at the school for men, they craft the wood into small pieces of furniture, tools, and small souvenirs for travelers.

For many travelers, this is a life-changing experience where you truly understand how fortunate you are, and how many people have an extremely difficult life with their only sin being born in the wrong place at the wrong time.
