Comuna 8 La Sierra tour focuses on having the experince to be immersed in a typical neighborhood in the city, exploring what we want to be known for: education, entrepreneurship, resilience as well as the aspects that made the city’s background complex and fragile.

Firstly, as tour guides we have the responsibility to reveal foreign people the side of the socio-economic and urban transformation the city has gone through, that way we seek to confront and get rid of the stigma “the most violent city in the world” and change it to one of the most innovative cities, which counts with one of the best public transportation systems, where its inhabitants, despite adversity, are resilient and happy, we get by.
