Overview

What if you could see a side of Bogotá that the guidebooks won't show you? Just steps away from the bustling Plaza de Bolívar and El Chorro de Quevedo—the birthplace of the city—lies a neighborhood that holds some of Bogotá's most powerful secrets. Here, history comes alive on the streets rather than in a museum. On this exclusive, private tour, you will gain access to a community that most travelers never see. This isn't about seeking danger; it's about finding hope and resilience where you least expect it.

Highlights

  • Go behind the historic center to witness a community's transformation.
  • Get exclusive access to a neighborhood few travelers see.
  • Led by former gang members who transformed their lives.
  • Discover the flavor of “chicha”, a traditional Colombian alcoholic beverage.
  • This tour directly supports a local community project.
