Corporation Fernando González, Otraparte was created in 2002 to preserve and promote the spirit and philosophy of the late philosopher who is considered one of the most original, controversial and influential Colombian writers of the 20th century.
As such, the former house and garden in Envigado, of the man known affectionately as 'el filósofo de Otraparte' (the philosopher from somewhere else) is today a museum open to the community free of charge.
