Stop At: Medellin, Medellin, Antioquia Department
Until the turn of the millennium the struggles about Pablo Escobar's successor continued, but from 2002 Medellín began to change and the city started to invest heavily in infrastructure and public education. Today the “City of Eternal Spring” is one of the most innovative metropolises in the world. An essential part in this transformation process are community-based initiatives aiming to fight poverty in the city ́s poorest neighbourhoods.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Centro Cultural Moravia, Calle 82 A # 52-25 Cerca al Jardín Botánico, Medellin 050006 Colombia
One impressive project of urban change is the densely populated Moravia district, once Medellín's municipal rubbish dump with an open-air mountain of trash surrounded by a large shantytown, whose residents used to live in almost absolute poverty.
Plenty of local community-run projects have transformed Moravia into a model urban centre. Learn about the origins, evolution, and highlights of Moravia and its social processes by the hand of 3 generations of community leaders.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Medellin, Medellin, Antioquia Department
Experience the uniqueness of the transformation of this territory characterized by receiving the main national migratory waves, where the same community built the infrastructure of the territory thanks to self-management and community organization guided mostly by inspiring women.
Support directly a community-based project of Moravia and help them to fulfill their dreams of a better life.
Duration: 30 minutes

I'm from Colombia but I was doing 4 different tours with Palenque Tours Colombia because my friend from Germany was visiting my country and I wanted to show her the best of the best with off-the-bitten track places and experiences. This tour was one of those that I would not have been able to carry out if it weren't for Palenque's help. The guides (the bilingual and local guide) were amazing, they were very informative, and they were always open to resolve all our questions. We visited the entire neighborhood and we shared with the local community. This is one of those tours that touch your heart and makes a change in your life (even when I'm Colombian!). Thank you palenque for organizing everything! We really enjoy it!
