Colombia Uncovered

Art, Culture & Urban Life

Not everything worth discovering can be found in a travel guide. Underground Projects Passion is our space for curiosity, creativity and exploration.

Our focus is Colombia – especially Bogotá – and the people, places, colours, stories and ideas we discover along the way.

We explore the city beyond the obvious. We follow street art through its barrios, discover galleries and museums, look for new flavours, photograph everyday life and collect the moments that make a place memorable. But Colombia is only the beginning.

We also explore other places, perspectives and our own creative projects – from photography and visual experiments to ideas that simply deserve to be explored.

We don’t travel to tick places off a list. We travel to look closer.

A Sunday of Art, Flavors & Music

A sunny day in Bogotá leads us to the Usaquén Flea Market, a vibrant Sunday event filled with crafts, street food, and live music. The streets, lined with cozy cafés and international restaurants, come alive by midday. A visit to El Mediterráneo wraps up the day with a perfect meal.

A Picturesque Gem in Colombia’s Coffee Region

Salento, a gem in Colombia’s coffee region, enchants with colonial charm, lush landscapes, and vibrant culture. From exploring colorful streets and hiking the Cocora Valley to tasting rich coffee at Finca Momota, every moment here is a blend of adventure, nature, and tradition.

La Candelaria: Always a Pleasure

La Candelaria, Bogotá's vibrant historic heart, perpetually draws me back. Each visit reveals new facets, shifting with the time of day, week, and weather. Its colorful colonial homes, captivating graffiti, and lively street scene, set against the city's modern skyline, create an endless feast for the eyes. It's a place of enduring fascination, a promise of new discoveries with every return.

In the Heart of Bogotá: A New Normal

Bogotá feels transformed. Once vibrant streets are now quiet, shaped by pandemic restrictions. Masks are everywhere, discipline prevails. My hotel stay feels surreal—am I the only guest? Yet, a warm welcome and a bowl of ajiaco in Tierra Buena remind me: I’ve arrived once more.

Journey to Medellín, The City of Eternal Spring

Medellín, once notorious, now shines as the "City of Eternal Spring," an innovative metropolis. My journey there began with a surprisingly frigid overnight bus ride, but the city's warmth and vibrant street art quickly thawed my spirits. Exploring the transformed Comuna 13 – from its challenging past to its current status as a beacon of urban renewal – revealed an inspiring story of community and artistic expression.

Today, I venture into Bogotá's vibrant, yet challenging, Ciudad Bolívar via the TransMiCable. From above, the kaleidoscope of colorful houses and street life captivates, offering a panoramic view of the sprawling metropolis. Yet, this beauty masks the profound realities of poverty and struggle, making the cable car ride a deeply moving experience that offers a crucial insight into daily life in this complex district.
