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 Tourism Lab
Our lab is dedicated to designing and implementing tourism projects that empower communities affected by the Colombian armed conflict, contributing to sustainable alternatives to illicit economies while showcasing the rich cultural and natural heritage of Cauca and beyond.
Some of our initiatives include training peace guides in mediation and community dialogue, creating unique cultural tourism experiences that highlight indigenous and non-indigenous perspectives, and supporting rural communities in transitioning to sustainable initiatives.
Through these projects, we bridge the gap between tourism and social transformation, building a Colombia where tourism becomes a force for good.
