You will encounter the fascinating culture of Bogotá by taking our tour, where you can explore the neighborhood of La Candelaria built during the colonial period.

La Candelaria is known for housing the most emblematic political, economic, and cultural institutions of the country.

During our La Candelaria tour in Bogotá, you will enjoy a trip through time by taking in a wide array of architectural styles such as the Plaza de Bolívar, the main square of the city, and the primary Cathedral of Colombia. Next, you will discover the pre-Columbian mysteries and legends of Colombia’s indigenous communities exemplified in the exhibitions of the Museum of Gold, ranked as one of the best museums in the world by Tripadvisor.

Afterward, you will visit the Botero Museum of the Central Bank, which houses one of the most important permanent collections of contemporary art in the hemisphere, not to mention the largest collection of a master painter, Fernando Botero.

La Candelaria is magnificent. It is an area full of coffee shops, restaurants, art boutiques, stores, and iconic locales that you can explore safely and comfortably with the expert guidance of our local tour experts.

Jessy

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
