Festival Cordillera economic and environmental impact

Overview

The fifth edition of the Festival Cordillera took place on September 12 and 13 at Bogotá’s Simón Bolívar Park, attracting approximately 70,000 attendees. The event included a mix of domestic travelers (26.3%) and international visitors (13.7%).

The festival resulted in an estimated economic impact exceeding 80 billion Colombian pesos, benefiting the hospitality, transport, gastronomy, and commerce sectors. It also supported over 55,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs and contributed roughly 2.3 billion pesos in parafiscal contributions.

Alongside the musical performances, the initiative ‘Ecos por la Amazonía’ was launched by Páramo Impacta and NESsT. This impact investment fund utilizes festival transactions to support the conservation of 1,200 square meters of jungle and to assist local indigenous bio-businesses.
