The escalators are a blessing for getting up parts of the hillside. - An interesting tour led by Alex. We stood on the basketball court and learned about its former use as an execution ground. Alex described how the neighbourhood had transformed from its violent past. Having been one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Colombia. The tour included some street food and a coffee. We were told not to give the children money because it would only encourage them to be out of school. And the locals have recognised that an education is important. We did not encounter any children asking for money. We highly recommend this tour.
