The funds from the sales of these pieces have been used to provide health care, dentistry and education to women and children in the area through the Coraje Foundation, also led by the Colombian artist.[18][19]
2015 begins with the release of the seventh single from Coraje, "Siempre Juntos".[20]
In 2016 Naty releases the next single of Coraje, the song "La Lengua" and the final single "Coraje". Other promotional videos were released: "Secrets (Feat. F3nix Castillo) and "Take You on a Plane (Feat. Savan)".
Continuing with her facet as a businesswoman, Naty builds her own hotel in Palomino from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: Casa Coraje, a beach house where yoga, music and love for nature are the protagonists.[21]
The Colombian celebrates her 10-year artistic career with a tour of acoustic shows in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Cancun, Puebla), Honduras (San Pedro Sula, Tegucigalpa), the United States (Miami, Los Angeles and Burning Man festival in Reno Nevada) and Colombia, which ends with a concert in Bogotá in November. From the framework of the Barcú art fair, she presents the official video for "Coraje", filmed at the Burning Man festival and which works as the ninth and last single of the Coraje era, of which 9 singles and 12 videos were released, in total.[22]
2017: Guardian of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
[edit]As her initiative, on February 10, 2017, together with the children and indigenous people of the Palomino basin in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, they planted more than 1,000 trees to reforest this land. Through this activity, they sought to raise awareness, educate and continue helping to build community in this sacred place for indigenous Koguis, Arawaks and Wiwas of the mountains.[22]
The planting was carried out in a 3-day event, coordinated to plant starting at the town of Palomino, passing through the edge of the La Guajira side, until reaching the Seivyaca educational center, an indigenous school that is reached after walking for one hour from the town of Palomino. In this town, Botero, with his Coraje Foundation, has been making donations of books and dental sessions for student children.[22]
Naty Botero recorded her fourth studio album between the United States and Colombia.
2018-2020: InDios/InLove and 20/20 Collage
[edit]Naty Botero's fourth album arrives in 2018, along with the first single titled "11/11", released at the end of 2017, with much more Caribbean rhythms mixed with cumbia and pop.[22] The second single "Cucurucumbia" and part of his short film InDios are released as the first part of this double disc that contains 17 songs and was released in May 2018. "Diferente", the first phase of the album, is released at the beginning of the year as a promo single.

At the end of 2019, Naty releases the song "Comelo", together with the singer Bemba Colora, a song that serves as the first single from her double album entitled 20/20 Collage: Remixes and B sides.[4][24]
2021-2022: Project including Tengo Fe, Puro Amor and Despedida
[edit]In 2021, as part of her new project, she releases the song "Tengo Fe", which was inspired by Botero's feelings, of being a strong woman but at the same time soft and sweet. The purpose of this song is to convey a message of love, leaving hate aside and changing doubt for faith. The development of this new musical work took place in Palomino, Department of La Guajira, Botero's place of residence for several years and where she lives with her family.[25]
In 2022 and as part of the same musical project, Naty launches a new song called "Puro Amor", in which she uses Dominican merengue rhythms to express love towards her partner, but also wishing to express a feeling of self-love at that stage of her personal life and her musical career. The video for this song was also shot in the town of Palomino, on the Colombian Caribbean coast.[26][27]
In July 2022, Naty released the single "Despedida", made in collaboration with Colombian singer Andrés Cabas. The video of this romantic song was filmed in the department of La Guajira and in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.[28]
