Once the entry restrictions to the museums were confirmed, we started a panoramic tour, passing through the Plaza de los Periodistas, Universidades and Casa Museo Quinta de Bolívar and finally we arrived to Monserrate and took the cable car up. At the end of the tour we went down by cable car and had lunch at the Origen Bistro Restaurant. Since the group was unable to visit two of the locations that were part of the tour, we drove to Parque de la 93 in a private transport. This change of plans allowed them to see a modern side of the city, which is rarely visited by tourists. At the end of the afternoon we returned to the hotel, finding on the way peaceful manifestations in some streets that were able to be avoided easily, and we arrived back at the hotel without any complications.  

Despite The National Strike, the trip was done without any changes or complications. The following day they went to Zipaquirá, where they visited the iconic Salt Cathedral and continued their journey, they made a stop in Ráquira and finally reached their destination Villa de Leyva.

Mitigating environmental impact   

DE UNA Colombia Tours is committed to Sustainable Development, which includes among its 17 objectives the conservation of the environment and the empowerment of the most vulnerable communities. That is why we work hand in hand with local suppliers, who are equally committed to the conservation of vulnerable ecosystems. To mitigate the negative effects that are related to different tourism activities, during the stay of the travellers in the coffee region, the group was able to visit the Cocora Valley, the tour there was emphasised on the importance of the ecosystem and how it has been affected by illegal mining and logging. The group had the opportunity to plant some wax palms, a tree that is in a state of vulnerability, in previously defined areas, therefore they were able to contribute to its conservation.
