About
Get Up And Go Colombia is an organization that promotes tourism in Colombia, in regions previously affected by the armed conflict. Through activities and projects based on diversity and inclusion, we transform former war zones into cultural and gastronomic destinations for national and international tourists. We see sustainable tourism as a tool for peacebuilding and for socio-economic development in Colombia. For that reason all our activities and projects are both led by and are for young people, victims of the armed conflict, the LGBTIQ community, vulnerable and indigenous peoples. Enjoy our activities and live your experience from a different perspective. -

I did both the Sunday trekking tour and the city walking tour with Get Up and Go Colombia. Both tours were very informative - I learned a lot about the history of Popayan, both ancient and more recent. It really is a fascinating city, and the tour allows you to discover buildings you probably would have missed out on if you were on your own. On the trekking tour we went to Las Tres Cruces, which offers a great view of the whole city.
Thanks a lot to John Jairo and Camilo for being such passionate & knowledgeable guides!
In addition to the tours, Get Up and Go Colombia organises a lot of other activities, including language exchanges. I think it is a fantastic organisation to support if you're in the White City!

This walking tour is run by people who sincerely love their city and enjoy meeting new people. I joined 2 of their tours. The first one is their regular Free Walking Tour around the city with Samuel and Steven as my guide. Not only enjoying the historical stories of the white city, I was taken to a local cafe to taste the signature drink and local snacks, and I'm glad I did because it was good. The end of the tour was breathtaking, we went up a hill and got to see the sunset from the top of Popayan. I couldn't think of any better way to end the tour. For the sunset, of course you have to take the afternoon tour.
The next day, I took the Free Trekking Tour with John and Daniel. This time we took a different hill and trek to go up to see a different view of Popayan and visit the Three Crosses. Again, the ending of the tour was just great! We tried the most delicious yet simple empanadas fresh from the frying pan with its tasty sour-spicy salsa! LOVED IT! Thanks, guys. Popayan will never be forgotten.

This walking tour is not only a tour of the main places of interest in the old Popayan, but great fun with English student practising their English (which is really good). Having conversations with them about culture, art and customs as well as events in Colombia was just so enlightening and interesting. Absolutely brilliant - thank you guides.

Excellent organisation that fill their tours, experiences and services with passion and professionalism throughout. An organisation that needs to expand its services to not only Colombia but worldwide! Best tour guides ever!

We joined this tour today and were glad we did! Our guide, John, was friendly and knowledgeable and we had a great time seeing a few places we otherwise would have not seen in Popayán. We hiked up to Tres Cruces hill after walking to some city sights (of which most are not on the Get Up and Go regular city tours). It had rained heavily the night before so some parts were a little bit slippery. Wear proper shoes- hiking shoes or trainers. At the top, there are two stands selling fresh empanaditas which were delicious!
Highly recommend the tour and guide, John!

Get up and go Colombia is a very interesting organization run by young and idealistic people in Popayan, wanting to show the optimistic, innovative side of Colombia, believing in peace, culture and understanding. We followed Spanish course for four days with Miguel, one of the young and very clever and pedagogical Spanish teachers. Also very good English speaking. Get up and go Colombia do also do free street walking tours and dancing classes. They can custom make the Spanish courses to fit your needs. We also got a lot of insider information about places to eat and things to experience in Popayan. We think organizations like Get up and go Colombia is important in the process of building peace in the country.
We found Get up and go Colombia through popayantours.com, but they also have a Facebook group.

There are two different tours: the "free walking tour" and the "free trekking tour". I did the trekking tour today which is always on Sunday morning at 10 am. We were a small group and the tour did even take more than 2 hours, which was awesome. The tour was really interesting and our guide explained a lot about the city and its history. It was cool having a motivated and local person as a guide. The tour took us to the "Cerro de las tres Cruces". After about 40-50 minutes we reached the hill. There we had like a 10-minutes break and we got some delicious empanadas to try.
It was nice having a tour which took you the green part of Popayan and the view over the city from one of the viewing spot was cool, too.
The tour was completely for free, however, we all gave a tip, as he did really a good job. I would definitely recommend the tour!

Súper recomendable, el tour es gratis, son por la propina. El tour te lleva por todo el centro histórico de la ciudad. Toma aproximadamente dos a tres horas y es muy buena opción, no solo para conocer popayan sino también para conocer gente!
I really recommend this tour, it's free, just for the tips. The tour takes you around all the historical centre of the city and takes about 2-3hours. Its a very good option not only to get to know popayan but also to meet other people.

Absolutely fantastic.
I turned up as the only punter, but they decided to continue anyway. It's a great tour, taking in elements of the city such as the white paint, holy week and the nature of the roads and walls.
They are all so friendly, and are just some really nice Colombian people.
They are a new tour, only recently started, but is one of the best walking tours I've done. All it needs is more people to go - what are you waiting for?!

I did two walking tours with these guys, both free (tips highly appreciated, of course, fair enough!).
Both tours were really interesting, the guides informative and fun, and bilingual!
A great way to get a feel for this nice little town.
