The walk is led by Adrian Beales, an Australian sales director for Lifeafar, a company that offers real estate investment options for people from abroad. Behind him is a group of 20 investors.

Upon reaching Plaza Colón, they form a semicircle, some of them cover their face from the sun and contemplate building 405.
