San agustin Cumbe Tours
San Agustin is a colorful barrio in the center of Caracas. The formerly dangerous slum has been transformed into a more liveable district through the efforts of a community-led campaign called 100% San Agustin, which celebrates the music and creativity of the residents.
At least once a month, a group of local musicians lead visitors on an exuberant walking tour of San Agustin. The Cumbe Tour marching band plays traditional music as it walks between various bars, stopping along the way for drinking, dancing and story-telling. Several drinks and snacks are included in the ticket price. The tour ends with a concert in the street.
