We work together with the local community, who until recently was unaware of the value of the Tequendama Falls and surrounding ecosystem. Over the past years, this community has developed a strong sense of belonging to the region, and today, it promotes its conservation.

María Victoria Blanco C.Founder - Executive Director"The purpose of every human being is to leave a legacy, and the biggest problem with our Bogotá River is not pollution but indifference. That is why, every day, I strive to make sure that my legacy breaks that indifference and that we Colombians learn to value our territory.
