Colombian Town Transforms Street into Giant Water Slide to Boost Tourism Bucarasica, a small town in the Norte de Santander region of Colombia, has found a unique way to attract tourists and revitalize its community. Facing past challenges related to conflict in the Catatumbo region, the town transformed one of its main streets into a giant water slide. The initiative, the brainchild of Mayor Oscar Perez, was conceived during a political campaign as a way to offer residents and visitors an exciting activity. "This idea was hatched during a political campaign with the community," explained Mayor Perez in an interview featured in the video. "Our town is small, and people don't have much to do. This slide has impacted tourism, and we have gone viral." The video shows people of all ages enjoying the slide, creating a fun and festive atmosphere. The event is a testament to the town's creativity and its efforts to overcome past challenges. The success of the water slide initiative demonstrates how a small community can use innovative ideas to attract attention, promote tourism, and improve the quality of life for its residents.
