ABOUT THE Free Walking Tour of Bogota
This tour is operated by our partner Beyond Colombia.
Dive into the heart of Bogota with the 3-hour Free Walking Tour through the historic center, La Candelaria. Led by expert local guides, this tour brings Colombia’s rich history and culture to life—from the time of indigenous ancestors to the city’s vibrant present. Whether it’s your first time in Bogota or you’re looking to deepen your understanding of this fascinating city, this tour promises an unforgettable experience.
A Journey Through Bogota’s Iconic Landmarks
In La Candelaria, we’ll explore historic sites, charming plazas, and unique street art. Stand in Bolívar Square, where the city’s most significant political events have unfolded, and wander through the famous El Embudo alley, known for its vibrant graffiti. The guide will share stories of Bogota’s transformations, from colonial times to modern-day, shedding light on key events like El Bogotazo and the infamous Palace of Justice siege.
Savor Local Flavors and Capture the Best Views
Not only will you get to know the history of Bogota, but you’ll also enjoy its cultural highlights. Discover chicha, a traditional Colombian drink, in Concordia Market, and learn where to find the best views and photo spots around Bogota. Our guides are happy to provide tips on restaurants, museums, and more, ensuring your time in Bogota is both immersive and memorable.
