Itinerary

  • Caminata Por El Chorro De Quevedo

    Begin your journey at Chorro de Quevedo in La Candelaria, the birthplace of Bogotá. Meet your guide and learn about the remarkable Breaking Borders initiative. Wander through streets where captivating murals tell the story of Egipto's transformation from a dangerous past to a hopeful future, thanks to the power of tourism. Hear inspiring stories of how former gang members are reshaping their lives and their community. You’ll meet your guide at Chorro Quevedo in La Candelaria, the founding place of Bogotá. There you will learn about the project before heading to Nuestra Señora de Egipto, the church located at the entrance of Barrio Egipto. This is also the scene for the festivities on the 6th of January. All along the way, you will be able to see the history of the people illustrated in impressive graffiti art. Your guide will let you in on the meanings and stories behind these murals.

A critical visit of social conseuence off the path of most tourists

Published on Jan, 2025

This is an amazing opportunity experience first hand the living conditions and to learn about the violent history and the path many of the residents have chosen to achieve a more peaceful environment. It is a work in progress, but the results, to date, are impressive. One learns about conflicts and resolutions from different perspectives. The tour guides are sincere and willing to answer even difficult questions. The symbolism associated with the graffiti in the area is explained and touches one's heart. This is truly an opportunity to see a part of Bogata missed by most tourists, where your emotions will be challenged!

Must See in Bogoto

Published on Jan, 2025

I was so impressed by how this community is trying to forge a brighter future for itself and especially its children. After being neglected by the rest of Bogota, the citizens of Egipto are working to make peace in their neighborhood, beautify their streets, stay out of jail, and learn a viable trade. Please come and support this inspiring community!
