Get Up & Go Colombia

Get Up And Go Colombia is an organization which promotes tourism in Colombia, in regions previously affected by the armed conflict. Through activities and projects based on diversity and inclusion, we transform former war zones into cultural and gastronomic destinations for national and international tourists. We see sustainable tourism as a tool for peacebuilding and for socio-economic development in Colombia. For that reason all our activities and projects are both led by and are for young people, victims of the armed conflict, the LGBTIQ community, vulnerable and indigenous peoples. Enjoy our activities and live your experience from a different perspective. - Free walking tour everyday 10 am and 4 pm - Free trekking tour Sunday 10 am - Spanish lessons under request - Dancing lessons under request

Torre del Reloj

Reviewed By 7seasoceans - Cancun, Mexico

I felt safe in this square. One can find "llll" instead of "IV" on the face of the clock in the clock tower. There were vendors and it was nice to sit and watch as the world went by. There were a couple of blind folks singing at the corner of the square. The whiteness of the buildings make it look clean. The place had a colonial look.

Parque Caldas

Reviewed By Axl_Rome - Italy, null

In December the park had an enchanted forest theme to it, with giant flowers and mushrooms, as well as drops of water hanging from the trees. It is best to visit after dark, as all these giant objects are lit up The park was completely full of people, making it a bit challenging to walk around

On a smallish square, just a block or two from Pargue Caldas, the 16th century church has remnants of old frescos.

Centro Historico de Popayan

Reviewed By hulstra

Little is visible of the devastating 1983 earthquake. The streets are filled with people, as is the Parque Caldas, all in a well-explained, white-washed atmosphere.
