Meet Alex

Alex Muñoz, Founder

I am a Tourist Guide, certified by SENA, the only entity that endorses this profession in Colombia and, therefore, a great connoisseur of the territory of Tamesis, where I am based.

I was born in Medellin, from a Tamesian mother and a Jericoan father. Direct descendant of the founders of this municipality in the southwest of Antioquia.

I am a self-taught painter, professional photographer and computer enthusiast. I have a provincial soul; sociable, responsible and a citizen in every sense of the word.

I am also fond of animals, a consummate walker and a lover and respectful of the environment. I carry Tamesis in my heart and, for this reason, I try to instill a sense of belonging to its inhabitants and that tourists take the best memories of our beautiful and prosperous land.
