About us

Get Up and Go Colombia (GGC) is a youth-led non-profit organization which started in 2016 by local young people from Cauca. It aims to empower communities affected by conflict through sustainable tourism, social entrepreneurship, languages and community-led development. We also co-design transformative experiences with communities that connect travelers with local stories, contributing to socioeconomic opportunities, and promoting peacebuilding across Colombia.

Our work

We believe in the transformative power of travel to create social change. Our work is rooted in empowering communities affected by conflict, contributing to sustainable development, and connecting local resilience to global opportunities. Our initiatives are organized around four key thematic areas: sustainable tourism, social entrepreneurship, bilinguism and peacebuilding.

A wonderful tour with lots of interesting information and a very, very professional guide who knows all the history and details of his city. Fantastic, it's a must-do if you're in Popayan. Highly, highly recommended.

Miguel gave us a really interesting tour around the beautiful ciudad Blanca! He told nice, short stories and we saw a lot of places. Would really recommend going with them to get to know the city.One thing though. We wanted to do the tour on Tuesday and we registered through their website the day before. When we waited in front of the church the next day, nobody showed up. Afterwards, during the night, we got an email which explained why the tour hadn’t taken place. It would have been nice to get this beforehand, so we weren’t waiting for nobody.. For us it was a big bummer to not be able to do the tour that day.

A very good walking tour. It was just the two of us with the guide. Very interesting, with lots of anecdotes, and a tasting of regional products. I recommend it!
The guides are very good, very knowledgeable, and offer English-speaking service. It's completely free, and they only accept tips at the end.
