Overview

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.
