Itinerary
From high up on the TransMicable cable car you'll see breathtaking views of Bogotá, including some of its poorest, struggling neighborhoods.
This is a poor, hardscrabble neighborhood, typical of the way most Bogotanos get by day to day. Here, you'll get a feel for the way most residents of Bogotá get by. During your visit, you'll meet local residents, learn about the neighborhood's street art, visit a historical museum, sample local dishes, and more.
Make a quick visit at Museo Rincon del Paraiso Ciudad Bolívar, born from recycling, faith, and a thirst for learning in one of Bogotá’s most resilient neighborhoods.
Enjoy a delicious menú del día at a local restaurant in Ciudad Bolívar—authentic Colombian flavors, warm hospitality, and a true taste of the neighborhood.

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).
