Overview of the tour in Bogota

I'll take you to enjoy a delicious breakfast at one of the working-class, everyday spots in Bogotá. If you love art and history, this is your chance! We'll walk around Plaza de Bolívar, discovering historical events that shaped our country's history.

Then, we'll visit the Botero Museum, the House of Coin Museum, and the Bogotá Museum. We'll stroll through the streets of Colombia's oldest neighborhood, La Candelaria, and uncover even more history. Afterward, we'll have a drink at El Chorro de Quevedo, the very place where Bogotá began. If you'd prefer, we can visit the Gold Museum instead. Your eyes will shine with all the traditional bling! Next, we'll head to Plaza de La Perseverancia for some traditional food from across the country.

Maybe seafood from the Pacific coast or a dish from the Caribbean? We'll take a break at the Observatory Gardens, but don’t fall asleep! We have an afternoon walk through 7th Street to the National Museum, where we'll learn about art and history in this former prison, now transformed into an educational space. We'll have dinner at one of my favorites, WOK, and finish with a drink at a bar in La Macarena, which is full of shows and art traditions.

On arrival

If you're staying downtown, ask the staff at your hotel or hostel for directions. It's a well-known place, but it's always a good idea to get trusted instructions from where you're staying. You can also use your phone for guidance, but be cautious on the street.
