Tour description

Welcome to Colombia and Bogotá, the cultural capital of the country!

This is the best way to get to know the historic center: La Candelaria! We will travel back in time from the beginnings of our indigenous ancestors, through the period of colonization and up to the present day.

On our tour you will learn about the history of the city as you explore it. Get in touch with the local culture and see how history comes to life with stories from the past and present.

This is a fun and informative walking tour full of fun facts about history, culture, food, architecture, places to visit, art and cultural offerings.

We'll cover topics such as:

  • The history behind of our "Chicha"
  • Local Graffitis and Murals: influence, technique and resistance
  • Myth of "El Dorado"
  • Simón Bolivar Main Square
  • The Justice Palace Siege
  • Local gastronomic alley
  • Chorro de Quevedo foundation square
  • The Bogotazo Riot - Jorge E. Gaitán
  • Black market of emeralds
  • The "False Door"
  • Botero's Museum & Cultural Square
  • And much more!


We'll take you through time when the Spanish came and started the new civilization, all the way to the current organization of the city.

We'll make sure to give you all the recommendations you might need to continue exploring Bogotá on your own, whether you want to see all the museums or eat at the best restaurants.

Discover with us what Bogotá has to offer and feel the atmosphere of one of the most colorful historical centers in Latin America so that you can bring to life our cultural expressions, historical and representative institutions, our gastronomy, the tragedies that have changed the city and of course have fun.

Experience our impressive, magnificent, romantic, charming, fun and friendly city!
