Every morning millions of people buckle up to start the day completely jammed in rush hour. In South America, this huge urban challenge also created new opportunities for remarkable businesses to flourish. In big cities like Bogota, you can find many young men, claiming crowded junctions to create a unique public stage. They are called ‘traffic light performers’: skilled athletes who earn a living by entertaining grumpy drivers waiting at the traffic lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1563896016497-SHUYOZP5HLODKDH4GY9O/image-asset.jpeg Vlogs - Welcome to Tropical Burn: Brazil's first Burning Man festival. In four days, hundreds of people from all over the world created their own small society in a tropical no man’s land somewhere in the northeast of Brazil. Without really knowing what we got ourselves into, The Urban Detectives bought tickets, jumped in the car with some fellow ‘burners’ and started our Tropical Burn adventure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1563896233432-VZGE4ZFW4MNXL6VDDSBU/image-asset.jpeg Vlogs - VLOG‍♂️ || How the Brazilian carnival's band Olodum became a massive social movement Every year, more than two million people come to Salvador to be part of Brazil’s biggest festival. However, forty years ago most Afro-Brazilians living in Pelourinho - the historic city center of Salvador - were not allowed to participate. To guarantee them access to the festival, a group of musicians and artists founded Olodum: a carnival organisation that aimed to highlight African heritage during the massive yearly parades, and uplift the Afro-Brazilian community of Pelourinho through music, art and dance. The Urban Detectives are in Pelourinho, to see the local heroes of Olodum open a renovated plaza and find out what they exactly mean for the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1560518173334-NP7HUCDEKMSRF28MWL3H/image-asset.jpeg Vlogs - VLOG‍♂️ || Flooded streets in Recife: the rainy season has started! The Urban Detective visits Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, in the Northeast region of Brazil. Recife is famous for its bridges, dikes, and other elements of the Dutch heritage. But on our way to the Recife city museum we discover the consequences of Brazil's rainy season. Ironically, history comes back to life, as the city streets are completely flooded and transform into Dutch looking canals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1559432635238-BM0EX9FP77JRXHQM80I3/image-asset.jpeg Vlogs - VLOG‍♂️ || Cleaning the beach with Rio's bay protectors More than 70% of Rio de Janeiro's sewage flows into the Guanabara Bay untreated! In addition, illegally dumped industrial trash and oil spills continue to pollute the bay’s waters. Instituto Mar Urbano is fighting for change. Their goal is to preserve and protect the maritime biodiversity of the Guanabara Bay, and make people aware of the rich life in its waters. “You have to know the bay, to love and protect it,” founder Ricardo Gomez explains. We join founder Ricardo Gomes and other bay protectors during a big beach clean-up and immediately discover the importance of their work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1557709637374-97JEKKECDVMU538HNWNF/image-asset.jpeg Vlogs - VLOG‍♂️ || How the most crowded road of São Paulo transforms into a city park for all Paulistas. Every Sunday, Avenida Paulista - one of the most crowded roads in Sao Paulo - transforms into a huge city park. On this day, the streets are taken over by families, skaters, runners and cyclists. Paulistas can enjoy live music, stroll around markets and of course Brazilian snacks can be found everywhere. It’s the perfect time to catch your breath before it’s business as usual and Paulista transforms back into one of the busiest streets of São Paulo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1554373711167-7N761RN5RUXSJYO6ED5W/image-asset.jpeg Vlogs - VLOG‍♂️ || The Urban Detective announces next journey!!

Honestly, in the Netherlands I really miss good quality squares. Public spaces that invite us to play, to exercise or to just let us hang around and meet each other. We have good parks, that people completely occupy when the first ray of sunshine reminds us winter is finally over. But squares? Whether it is incredibly hard to design them or we just really love grass, we don't seem to use them. In South America they love squares. And we've seen some beautiful examples. Spaces where we often met friendly locals, who gladly guided the Urban Detectives in the right direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578260799755-SBK4T5917NRFQ6WO74M8/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - The ultimate beach in Brazil! With a coastline of more than 8000 kilometers long, Brazil is the perfect beach holiday destination . Our favorite spot: Pipa. This old fishermen village has transformed into a relaxation paradise where you can surf ‍♀️ swim with dolphins or drink (lots of) caipirinhas. But the increasing amount of tourists also raised the amount of trash around Pipa's beautiful beaches. Local artist Rafa Santos has a perfect part of the solution. His arty cigaretteboxes really get your attention, but still fit perfectly in Pipa's sunny vibe . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578242802674-ERA1OQXVOXUE9R42TC9G/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - Toronto’s Distillery District. The distillery district in Toronto has the best preserved collection of Victorian architecture in North America. That's why it has become a pretty popular walking destination with options to shop, eat or have a whiskey everywhere! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578241268519-EXM8Z5CXTTG95ZX8XMQ3/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - Getting around in South-America. When traveling through South-America, you will use a lot of different types of transportation. Cruising through Sao Paulo by (shared) bike on Sundays, crossing the Brazilian-Colombian border by boot on the Amazon, or getting around on the back of a pre-second world war truck in Colombia’s coffee region. In each place, people have adapted their transportation system differently. People move around in innovative and sometimes problematic ways to cope with their growing population, urbanizing environment and beautiful, but challenging landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578241131924-7NDS8O6TEXZ76Z7ALE9V/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - Vila Cruzeiro In 2008, the Favela Painting Foundationand community members completed a giant mural of koi carp swimming upstream in Vila Cruzeiro, Rio de Janeiro. Together with residents and (former) employees, we discuss the project’s impact. After ten years, what did, and does it still mean to them? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578240263385-PFMSUN47592XYY8RHT73/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - Architectural diversity in Toronto. No screaming sounds of street vendors, no beautiful, blasting music from bars and shops, no garbage. Toronto is clean, quiet and rich in architectural diversity! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564769986036-CUO5OKVIBU56TWUHJRR3/IMG_20190526_092200.jpg Photo's - Behind the scenes #3: Our working space. Often we don't have a desk to write our articles on, so mostly we make our own office ‍. Ofcourse the beautiful nature of Brasil & Colombia helps with that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564769760062-YFAFX4SQVWKTZKSNVL9X/IMG_20190519_150902.jpg Photo's - Love Letters. While in Amsterdam they recently removed the IAMSTERDAM letters from the citycenter, in South America you can still find this attraction everywhere! Even villages use the corny letters to attract and entertain visitors. Here are some of our favourites (places you may have never even heard of). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564769207983-ISQVEOCT9EOL06GXY2DJ/IMG_20190715_111221.jpg Photo's - The salesmen of South America. In Latin American cities, going into a shop, bar or restaurant is not necessary, nor good for your wallet, once you’ve discovered the amazing world of illegal street commerce. The sound of screaming street vendors, selling refreshments, food, books or electronics, is everywhere ! Research shows that in Colombia, even more than half of the population works in this informal economy! We truly found everything strolling through the streets of South-American cities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578240720575-YNNCBXT4K8YMINDEH4DU/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - Pray for Amazonia Satellite images from Brazil’s own space agency show that the rate of deforestation in the Amazon has almost tripled since Bolsonaro’s government came to power. In fact, the number of fire outbreaks in Brazil grew by 70 percent this year in comparison to the same period of 2018. The government denies the claims and has fired the scientist responsible for publishing the data. In response, #prayforamazonia became trending. People from all over the world call for attention to stop the attacks on the beautiful, green lungs of our planet! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564769058467-ESB7CIRZGWJP4IN9I18X/IMG_20190711_133800.jpg Photo's - Bienvenido a Cartagena ! Cartagena has grown into an important industrial center and has the largest port of Colombia. Nevertheless, the old city center has changed very little. Between the city walls, once build to protect the city from pirates, there are now countless options to eat, shop and party. We now understand why it is called the most beautiful city of Colombia! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564768837071-LM42AUJ5EU3476C7FPFO/IMG_20190704_101124.jpg Photo's - Life in the jungle Over half of the human population live in cities all over the world. Also many Amazonians left their homes to enjoy the luxeries of modern life in big junglecities like Manaus. But even in the jungle, services like electricity, TV and WiFi are not uncommon anymore. However, unlike most city people, those who stayed behind still now how to survive without anything in the jungle. Our 15-year-old guide teaches us some basic skills like: how to clim an acai-tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564767719277-4HXLV33HOI90VK56K7BB/IMG_20190703_122530.jpg Photo's - Behind the scenes #2.

Located in the heart of the Amazon lays the modern city Manaus with over 2 million inhabitants! It's the place were two rivers, the Rio negro and Rio solimões, evolve in the famous Rio Amazonas. In tropical temperatures over 30 degrees, citizens are in search of cooling: on boats, in the river or with the use of an umbrella ☂️. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564766871729-M3RHUW4OKSKVI92JMWPZ/IMG_20190627_105144.jpg Photo's - Mercado Ver-o-peso Bélem, located in the mouth of the Amazon, became an important trading port for the rubber industry in the 1800's. It's market, Ver-o-Peso (translated 'see the weight'), is still one of the biggest places of trade in South America! Here you can buy the best fish, jungle fruits and herbs from the Amazon. Also you can eat the regional speciality everywhere: fish with acai. An unexpected supertasty combination! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1578239709122-8M6H7SKZVOU9JECTOQFW/image-asset.jpeg Photo's - Social Urbanism in Medellin. A few years ago, Comuna 13 was considered the most dangerous area in Medellin. Nowadays visiting this district is one of the most populair ‘things to do’ in the city. The top-notch grafitti, amazing view and street-art performances attract hundreds of tourists every day. How come this transformation? Social Urbanism! Together with the community, a metro cable and six outdoor escalators were realised to connect this area to the rest of the city. These projects can be found throughout the entire city. They play a huge role in the transformation of Medelin, and are a source of inspiration to many cities and urban planners all over the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564766668107-3KQI5QZQJNJMD4RPGHKT/IMG_20190624_101954.jpg Photo's - Tropical Burn, the first Burning Man festival of Brazil! After realising that the first Burning Man of Brazil was going to take place just two hours from our destination, we had to buy tickets! In the last four days, we created our own society, together with 300 people from all over the world. Guided by ten important principles, we experimented with a new way of living together. It was an amazing experience that we will never forget! We want to thank everyone for giving us so much love and making this actually possible.

Olinda is one of the historical cities famous for its carnival. But even out of the carnival season, we enjoyed the festive vibes here. You can see huge papier-mâché puppets used for the parades, coloured houses and walk through decorated streets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1564768582678-TX0F83OLSKIBY54Y7KPI/3.jpg Photo's - The inspiring story of Olodum In Pelourinho, the historic city center of Salvador, we sit down with Lucas Di Fiori, one of the four main singers of carnival bloco Olodum.

Salvador, the capital of colonial Brazil, has a unique citycenter. It is split in half and consists of a Cidade Alto (upper city) and Cidade Baixa (down city). To bridge the 72 meters gap between the two sides of town, connecting Pelourinho (upstairs) with the commercial district (downstairs), elevators were built. Elevador Lacerda is being used since 1873 and is centrally located between municipality buildings & churches in Pelourinho and the Mercado Modelo and shops downstairs. It is 0.15 Real (€0.04) to go up and is definitely worth the money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06d7bc534a5f51c20a5b7/1560717802447-2SHMZEXAY2TWBZZNUD5S/IMG_20190608_154336.jpg Photo's - Joining the opening of a renovated plaza together with Olodum. Today we are in Pelourinho, the historic center of Salvador, to celebrate the opening of a renovated plaza.
