The open garbage dump was operating from 1977 to 1984 and the people living around the trash used everything they found in the garbage and became experts in recycling, built their homes with the material and made anything possible to get an income out of the trash. Due to Colombia’s armed conflict more and more refugees arrived in Moravia, located right next to the city center. Moravia is known for its strong community spirit and the positive attitude of its people. Plenty of local community-run projects have transformed Moravia into a model urban centre, with the mound of trash turned into a garden-covered hillside.
On this tour meet personally local leaders of Moravia that provide you with unique insider information about the barrio, its people, and history. Explore the area guided by locals and experience first-hand the impressive transformation of the sector, meet and interact with the locals, and listen to their unique stories of the recent history.

I'm from Colombia but I was doing 4 different tours with Palenque Tours Colombia because my friend from Germany was visiting my country and I wanted to show her the best of the best with off-the-bitten track places and experiences. This tour was one of those that I would not have been able to carry out if it weren't for Palenque's help. The guides (the bilingual and local guide) were amazing, they were very informative, and they were always open to resolve all our questions. We visited the entire neighborhood and we shared with the local community. This is one of those tours that touch your heart and makes a change in your life (even when I'm Colombian!). Thank you palenque for organizing everything! We really enjoy it!
