Description
Unlock a rare, behind-the-scenes encounter with Medellín’s Indigenous Embera community—led by voices from within.
Join us for an intimate experience with a dual perspective: guided by a local expert and a member of the Embera Indigenous tribe.
You’ll meet an Embera female leader, who works with an NGO helping displaced indigenous people in the city.
Together with her, we deliver food to the homes of the indigenous in Medellín, hear their story, and learn directly about their culture.
We finish at the NGO’s facilities to see the important work being done to support the community. More than just a tour, this is a cultural exchange that challenges myths, breaks taboos, and supports real impact (50% of the profits go to the NGO).
