If you want to discover the deep reality of the colombian capital you should join me in this experience trying to see and understand the configuration of the colombian society, we will not see colonial architecture, museums or fancy streets, we will go through the south neighborhoods of Bogota by using one of the most innovative transportation system in the world, Tansmilenio and Transmi Cable (Cable car). Bogota has different faces and this a really interesting one you dont want to miss. First of all, we take the Transmilenio (BRT System) direction to Tunal Station and reach the Cable Care used by 700.000 locals everyday as their main transportation system. We will go to the last station Paraiso, and walk around in a deteriorated urban district by the violence and poorness in the past, trying to improve its habitants and surroundings through the education, urban renovation, sports and art equipments.

I showed up on time the day of the tour, paid a UBER to get there. By the way, I am g’ad I contacted them before I left for Colombia because they changed the meeting point but didn’t warn.
No on was there when I got at the meeting point, I called them and they told me they cancelled the day before.
I NEVER got a cancellation message of any form, not even in my spam folder. They sent a screenshot of a message they said they sent the day before on my gmail account, but sadly for them I don’t use gmail, my email is a hotmail.
This operator made me waste my time and money, so please do yourself a favor and avoid booking with them.

It is worth knowing something different about Bogotá, and this is a very good way to do it. Andrea explains the entire route in detail, from when we started in the center until we returned from Ciudad Bolivar. And Ciudad Bolivar, in itself, is a very interesting area to explore, with its graffiti and colors.
Also, we ended the tour with a yucca cake that was delicious. Highly recommended.

We had the tour leaded by Yacky. A very nice local that had so much interesting information and answered all our questions.
to get to the cable car we took the bus. This was part of the experience to and the 40 Minutes were used to give us a lot of information. In el paraiso we also met Andrea, who lives there. She told us everything about the graffiti culture and the different projects that help the people there. The including snacks had been very delicious. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour.

I find the word "slum tour" derogatory. They should indicate it as: Tour to Barrio Paraíso: the best social and cultural experience in the city (or something like that)

Great halfday tour to el paraiso from downtown city via the local bus and cable car transport. Bustling community there. Very colorful and safe. I was alone and the guide was very friendly and enthusiastic. He shared a lot about the history and culture, and how the place has evolved to what it is today. All transport fees and local snacks and drinks included :)

When I had only 3 day in Bogota I wanted to check out a nice trip besides the standard tourist stuff and there it was - the trip to El Paraiso. I checked the homepage of Rolombia trips and booked the tour a day ahead and after some minutes Juan got in contact with me. We meet at the meeting point and went through the city to get to the cable car. Already the view from the cable car, the view is amazing, but with the local guide Andrea the experience got perfect. She told me a kit about the history and graffiti, as well as showed me local food and drinks. All in all a perfe t experience and I can highly recommend it to anyone even you have only a few days.

My friend and I were in Bogota for 5 days and I could not be happier that we made this a part of our trip! Our two guides, Juan and Andrea, were amazing, and they provided a great overview of El Paraiso and El Mirador, the history of Ciudad Bolivar, and how these communities are working to enhance the lives of their residents.
With over 1 million people living in Ciudad Bolivar, if you want to truly see all sides of Bogota as a city, this stop is just as important as Chapinero and La Candelaria in my opinion. The art is amazing, the food is tasty, and the strides that these communities are making are inspiring to witness firsthand. Not to mention, the views of the city are unmatched (yes, even better than Monserrate!)
And if you are a foreign traveler with safety concerns, I can only speak to my experience, but we could not have felt safer throughout. The residents were all welcoming, and the neighborhoods were lively throughout the time we were there, with children playing games and stores filled with customers.
You will not regret this tour!
