Summary:

Escarabajos: un país descubierta a pedalazos (Beetles: a country discovered by pedal strokes) is a transmedia project made up of three parts: an interactive documentary, a traveling physical exhibition and a documentary resource center on Colombian cycling. Together, the project explores the origin and iconic moments of national cycling, and tries to understand the role of this sport in the construction of a national mythology and a country that was discovered, lived and suffered after the efforts and victories of these athletes.
