Highlights

Join us in this amazing free walking tour through Bogotá's downtown district and learn all about the city's history and culture, making friends along the way. La Candelaria is a creative hot-spot of Bogotá. There’s nothing like it anywhere else in this sprawling city. Art-deco and colonial houses, with baroque churches behind them; the old and the new intermingled in this walking tour Bogotá. Join one of our guides in the heart of Bogotá and discover what this neighborhood has hidden away. Inscribed in graffiti and mixed in the drinks, you’ll discover Bogotá’s colonial and indigenous past, the roots of Colombian history. A confluence of culture and conflict can be felt all around, as you follow a trail of graffiti through old city streets. Learn about the impact of Colombian drug trafficking, emerald mafia, and how all lines up with its +50 year old armed conflict. State, drugs, war, guerrillas, trade: a volatile mixture that has often blinded us to the better side of Colombia.

  • 5Excellent Walking Tour

    We had the best guide - very knowledgeable. It is nice to have a Guide who loves her city, is enthusiastic about sharing historical facts and local stories, and is simply very warm and personable.

  • 5Great introduction to Bogota.

    Great tour with our wonderful guide Bernardo. We had just arrived in Bogota and this was a great introduction to the city. Bernardo took the time to point out places of interest and discuss the history and other interesting information. He also made great recommendations for the rest of our stay which made our whole stay more enjoyable.

    I booked this walking tour for my parents and my grandmother, and they absolutely loved it. They told me it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The guide, Mayra, was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and wise, with a wonderful way of sharing everything she knew. They felt like they learned so much, even more than they would in a history class. She explained everything patiently, used great examples, and made the history and stories easy to understand and interesting. The tour was also very well paced. They were not walking nonstop, and there were plenty of moments to rest, ask questions, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. I honestly have major FOMO for not joining them! After hearing how much they enjoyed it, I know that when I come back, I will definitely be doing this tour myself. They would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. It was educational, enjoyable, and very well organized. Mayra was truly an exceptional guide!

About Bogotá

Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.

La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.

Top-ranked sights in Bogotá: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum (Museo Botero), Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
