Colombia's first hikers' organization
An open, democratic and participatory institution that makes the right to ecological recreation a reality.
A community with purpose
The Sal Si Puedes Colombian Hikers' Foundation is an open institution, democratic and participatory in character, that fulfills the social function of making effective the right to ecological recreation, held by every human being, without any limitation based on race, nationality, creed, sex, or economic or social condition.
We are pioneers of hiking in Colombia. We promote this activity as a way to make the country's trails known, conserve the environment and its natural resources, and encourage respect for the cultural identity of the destinations we visit.
