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.

Get up and Go Colombia

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.

Tourism Lab

We co-design innovative projects that empower communities affected by conflict to create sustainable socioeconomic opportunities through tourism, social entrepreneurship and bilingualism.

Tours

Our community-led tours connect you with local stories, cultures, and landscapes, while directly supporting communities affected by conflict. You can learn about our region through our daily touristic activities.

Tiuspa Café, Peace Center

It is more than a café, it's a center for hope, resilience, and collective transformation. Here, we articulate initiatives for peace building and intercultural dialogues with the local community.
