Tour Details
At the indicated time, we’ll meet at Parque de la 93 and get ready to discover Bogotá’s most authentic and everyday side. Let’s go!
From there, we’ll head to Park Way, an urban corridor conceived in the 20th century as a landscaped residential axis. There, we’ll explore one of the most dynamic cultural hubs in the Colombian capital. Did you know this tree-lined boulevard was designed following European urban planning models?
We’ll continue to Quinta Camacho, a heritage district characterized by Tudor-style and English neo-colonial homes. As we stroll through its streets, we’ll learn about the architectural preservation process that transformed former elite residences into sophisticated gastronomic and cultural spaces without altering their original appearance.
Our next stop will be the San Felipe district, now established as an emerging artistic hub. As soon as we arrive, we’ll observe how former industrial warehouses have been converted into contemporary art galleries, creative studios, and cultural labs.
We’ll then head to the famous house where Yo soy Betty la Fea was filmed, a production that marked a milestone in the international success of Colombian television.
From there, we’ll continue to La Trocha La Casa de la Paz, a project created after the signing of the 2016 Peace Agreements. This space was founded by former combatants in the process of reintegration who embraced the solidarity economy as a path toward social reconciliation. Here, we’ll discover how beer brewing became a tool for productive reintegration and the preservation of collective memory. Of course, we’ll enjoy a drink surrounded by this revolutionary atmosphere.
Finally, we’ll conclude the experience by participating in the game of tejo, a recreational activity of pre-Hispanic origin that has endured as a living expression of Colombian cultural heritage. Ready to test your aim?
At the end of the tour, we’ll return to the original meeting point, where we’ll say our goodbyes after 4.5 hours.
