Step into the heart of Bogotá with the True Colombian Walking Tour; a rich cultural experience that goes far beyond sightseeing. Led by a bilingual guide, this immersive journey through La Candelaria reveals the city’s vibrant history, flavors, and legends through every street, story, and sip.
Start by exploring La Concordia Market, the second-oldest in Bogotá, where you’ll taste a variety of exotic Colombian fruits and enjoy a traditional chicha tasting. Depending on the day, your guide may offer the chicha either at the market or later at Chorro de Quevedo; the legendary birthplace of the city, surrounded by colorful murals and colonial charm.
Continue through the colonial streets and stop at a cozy café to enjoy freshly brewed Colombian coffee. A few steps later, you’ll be invited to try coca tea; an Andean tradition that connects you to the region’s indigenous roots. Along the way, admire the gothic architecture of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, stroll through Plaza de Bolívar to hear stories of revolution and resilience, and walk along La Séptima, Latin America’s longest pedestrian street. You’ll also explore the Eje Ambiental, a unique urban waterway lined with public art.
The tour ends with a bang—literally—at a local Tejo hall, where you’ll learn to play Colombia’s explosive national game. As you aim for the gunpowder-filled targets, enjoy a traditional snack: hot chocolate with cheese, a beloved Bogotá pairing.
This 3-4 hour tour adapts to weather and group size. Ideally, groups are kept under 15 people and split when needed. However, if last-minute bookings exceed 30 participants, our expert guides are fully trained to manage larger groups while maintaining an engaging and personalized experience.
