Begeleid bezoek aan Commune 20 in Cali
Beschrijving
Commune 20 heeft veel interessante verhalen in de stijl van de serie "bendes, oorlog en vrede"; De lokale gidsen vertellen over hun ervaringen in de buurt en nemen ons mee door de straten vol graffiti die de herinneringen bewaren aan wat er is gebeurd; We zullen enkele gezichtspunten bezoeken die slechts 1% van de stadsbevolking heeft waargenomen en we zullen genieten van een panoramisch uitzicht over de hele stad. Daarnaast passeren we enkele iconische punten van de sector, zoals het grote hof, de slang huis en het gezichtspunt van de ster. Zonder twijfel zullen we genieten van een van de meest authentieke buurten van de stad.

Reisroute
Onze reis begint te midden van boeiende muurschilderingen die de straten sieren. Lokale kunstenaars hebben van deze buurt een openluchtgalerie gemaakt, die met hun kunst veerkracht en hoop uitdrukt. Terwijl we de berghelling beklimmen, bereiden we ons voor op een prachtig uitzicht op Cali. Het panoramische uitzicht biedt een fascinerende combinatie van stedelijke en natuurlijke schoonheid, perfect voor onvergetelijke foto's. Tijdens de tour zullen onze gidsen inspirerende verhalen over gemeenschapstransformatie delen. Ontdek hoe bewoners samenkwamen om hun buurt terug te winnen en er een plek van trots en culturele rijkdom van te maken. Vind vriendelijke lokale bewoners die graag hun verhalen over strijd en triomf willen delen. Ga met ons mee op deze verrijkende reis door wijken in de bergen van Cali, waar tegenslag is veranderd in kansen en waar kunst en gemeenschap heersen.
Siloé is de beroemdste wijk in gemeente 20, door de meerderheid van de inwoners van Cali erkend als een gevaarlijke buurt. Nu vertellen de inwoners een ander verhaal en bezoeken we het grootste voetbalveld in de sector, een entertainment- en sportcentrum met een uniek uitzicht van de stad

This turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! We almost skipped it because there was some unrest happening in the city at the time, but we're so glad we decided to go. Our guide was fantastic and did an amazing job explaining the history of Siloe, the challenges it has faced, and the incredible transformation the community has gone through. We were able to ask lots of questions, hear personal stories, and even chat with some of the locals, which made the experience feel very authentic. The art, music, and energy of the neighborhood are inspiring, and seeing how the community has reinvented itself was truly special. We felt completely safe the entire time and never had any issues. If you're visiting Cali don't miss this tour. It's so much more than just seeing murals for us it was about understanding the resilience and heart of the people who call this place home. Highly recommend!
I did this tour in Commune 20 with the intention of looking different, and I left with that: an experience that helps to demystify Latin American neighborhoods when you visit them from respect, without morbidity and without prejudice. It feels genuine, street, real life; and you can also notice that there is a commitment to self-sustainability and to build coexistence through sport, art and community. Just how valuable it is, I think it could be strengthened if the route opened up more spaces to meet other people in the neighborhood: stops designed for conversation, listening to stories in the first person, trying some typical food, having more everyday moments (not just walking and watching). I also wanted a more complete explanation about graffiti and urban art: who makes them, what they mean, what stories they are telling. And one detail that for Cali is almost inevitable: I wish the sauce were more present. Not only in the photos of the start, but as an experience: even if it is a time to listen to a local group or dance for a while in a safe and communal space. I feel that would help to better show that resistance here is organized and collective, and that the tour expresses the community beyond a single group. I really encourage you to keep doing this and keep polishing it. Hopefully even this kind of initiative will connect with experiences in other Latin American neighborhoods that are also on the path to leaving violence behind.
Awesome experience and must do if in Cali especially when you have a great tour guide like we did (Carlos) - thank you!
