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, flavours, and legends through every street, storey, 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 colourful murals and colonial charm.
Continue through the colonial streets and stop at a cosy café to enjoy freshly brewed Colombian coffee. A few steps later, you’ll discover traditional Andean herbal infusions that connect visitors to the region’s cultural heritage and indigenous traditions.
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.
The tour typically lasts 3-4 hours depending on walking pace and normal city conditions.
