Bogota El Paraíso Favela Tour with Cable Car

This tour of the El Paraíso favela with cable car in Bogotá is a unique experience of about three and a half hours that gives visitors an insight into the reality of one of the city's most humble areas.

The trip starts at the cable car, one of the most popular attractions. Tourists can enjoy a thrilling ride with views from the top, while the tour guide provides information about the history of the neighbourhood.

During the ride, you'll get a spectacular panoramic view of the Colombian capital, experiencing what life is like on the other side of the city, far from the metropolitan area where commerce and leisure activities take place.

You'll enter the area to learn about some of the region's socio-cultural initiatives, including cultural centres, community schools, urban art projects and economic development programmes.

As you walk through the streets, you'll see that beyond the social stigmas that accompany it, the community strives to overcome hardship and express their talents through all means, such as the neighbourhood walls that have been painted with impressive street art murals, honouring their national icons and symbols.

You will experience first-hand the daily life of the inhabitants of El Paraíso, who face daily challenges against crime and widespread poverty in the whole of Ciudad Bolívar, to which it belongs.
