Colombia, one of the happiest countries in the world, has been affected by its bad reputation due to various negative situations such as being a drug producer, and violent conflicts between different armed groups. Today, this has changed a lot, and during this Tour, you will understand the causes, the development and the Colombian conflicts that have shaped our history until today. At the end of this experience, you will have a more complete understanding of our political history, the war, the fight against national and international drug trafficking, among others. This Tour is part of a shared experience called "Free Walking Tour" and the value you just paid through Viator is the same suggested tip per person for the guide's work. This amount that you already paid in advance will go directly to your guide (minus the commission). In this way, at the end of the Tour, the guide will not ask you for any extra contribution. We hope you have fun and learn with us!
