BARRIO TRANSFORMATION TOUR

BOOKING REQUIRED

This is not a main stream tour. Visit an off-the-beaten-path neighborhood (Not Comuna 13) and learn about its powerful story of transformation.

 

Accompanied by a local social leader, you get special insight into the community’s struggles and achievements, as well as learning about our education and health systems, and enjoying the colorful street art.

 

This is a tour in a real neighborhood where you will understand how the average Colombian lives.

"We did the Barrio transformation tour and we loved it so much - one of the best tours we’ve done. Worth doing this rather than a standard Comuna 13 tour"
