3. Enjoy the unique architecture of the oldest neighborhood in the city. Among the 19th-century houses with wide eaves and colonial-era balconies, the ghosts of the viceroys who once inhabited their patios and hallways seem to hide. A large part of the buildings, many of them colonial and republican styles, are well preserved and have been declared a heritage site of cultural and historical interest. Its cobbled streets keep legends about the origins of the city, while churches and mansions transport us to other times. Walking through La Candelaria is entering the historic heart of Bogotá.

4. Visit the Botero Museum where you will find a large collection of works donated to Colombia by the artist Fernando Botero with the intention of disseminating arts and culture.

   40 min

5. The Chorro de Quevedo square is considered the place where Bogotá was first settled in 1538. This picturesque corner of La Candelaria, dominated by an old chapel, is accessed through the narrow cobblestone street of the Embudo. Today the square attracts tourists and street artists with its bohemian atmosphere, and continues to be a meeting point for Bogota residents seeking to connect with the origins of their city. From there you can feel the spirit of the founding of the Colombian capital.

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.
