Comuna 8 La Sierra tour focuses on having the experience to be immersed in a typical neighborhood in the city, exploring what we want to be known for: education, entrepreneurship, resilience as well as having a better understanding as to the city's background.
We also visit part of the historic district, where you can appreciate the Botero's sculptures and the most emblematic buildings of the region.
We seek to confront the stigma of being once "the most violent city in the world" and swap it to one of the most innovative cities, which counts with one of the best public transport systems, where its inhabitants, despite adversity, are resilient and have good living standards.
We believe in sustainable tourism, and that is why we leave a great percentage of what we make for different social projects aiming to improve the development in the neighborhood we are visiting, where we will have the opportunity to interact and meet the ones who make this experience possible.
