Highlights
More than a guided tour, this experience will allow you to discover Fernando Botero’s universe from a completely different perspective. Although admission to the museum is free, many of the stories, influences and details that shaped his work often go unnoticed by those who tour it on their own. Through participatory activities and easy-to-understand explanations, you will learn to observe his works with new eyes, understand the evolution of his style, his vision of art and discover the history of the extraordinary donation that gave rise to one of the most important collections in Colombia. Ideal for travelers of all ages, families, culture lovers and anyone who wants to live the Botero Museum in a dynamic, interactive and knowledge-free way.

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).
