Tour including guide and private transportation
Ciudad Bolívar has been stigmatized for many decades due to a history of violence in past years; however, with the arrival of the TransMiCable in November of last year, this Bogotá neighborhood shows us that these stigmas have been left behind and this is just one more step toward the growth of its inhabitants.

For the last 12 years I have devoted myself full time to the art of being a tour guide in Bogotá, especially on historical and cultural tours. I look forward to meeting you very soon on your visit to Bogotá, the amazing capital of Colombia.

I made the tour in favela of Cuidad Bolivar with private guide Camila Osuna and also guide Andre. It was a great experience. We went with cable car to Paraíso in Bolivar distinct. Although many said that it is not safe I think this is a myth I fell very safe
