David was an excellent guide, very informative and passionate about the development of the favellas. Both David & John made us feel very safe and comfortable. We came to see the whole country and found this tour very interesting indeed. Would highly recommend. Special thanks to David and John and the driver who went out of his way to drop us back at our hotel.
Brilliant tour, so happy I stumbled across this! Our guide Samuel was amazing, very knowledgable and made us feel so comfortable. The favela itself is a breathtaking place and the cable cars are awesome - never seen a view like it! Everyone you MUST do this tour if you’re in Bogota :)

Know before you go
- *Avoid bringing valuables with you and do not display personal belongings while on the tour. Be aware of your surroundings and watch out for pickpocketing ("don't give papaya").
- * The walk is not very demanding, but El Paraíso's altitude is 9500 feet (1,600 feet higher than Bogotá), so it is recommended that you drink plenty of water
