The Colla Vella crowns Cerro Wisalla in the middle of an expedition to Bolivia
La Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls has achieved a challenge that goes beyond the squares and pillars: climbing Cerro Wisalla in Bolivia. This surprising feat comes in the midst of the AAEET expedition, an adventure that has captured the attention of the province of Tarragona.
The journey has taken place over the past few weeks and had as its first goal this emblematic mountain, which the castellers from Valls have conquered with effort and drive. The experience, which Colla Vella itself has shared through its social networks, gives a new breath to the traditional image of this cultural figure from Tarragona.

Although Colla Vella may seem far from the streets of Valls and Tarragona at this moment, their action in Bolivia is an extension of what they represent at home. They don’t just build castells, but carry the culture and spirit of Tarragona beyond borders.
Local impact and enthusiasm
The fact that some of the most recognized castellers from the province undertook such a special expedition has generated interest and pride among the people of Tarragona. Beyond the spectacle in the squares, this adventure reinforces the prestige of Colla Vella and, by extension, of the entire territory.
The ascent to Cerro Wisalla: what does it mean?
A physical and symbolic challenge

The first part of a larger adventure
According to the official message from Colla Vella, this ascent is only the first part of the journey they are making with the AAEET. This opens the door to new stages and challenges that will surely capture the attention of the province and the country.
Practical details and tracking the journey
Who is part of the expedition?
