Reasons to experience the Bogotá city tour
On this tour through Downtown Bogotá, you will visit the most captivating and important sites—the places where the destiny of this city and all of Colombia is defined.
Additionally, you will receive basic photography lessons so you can capture all the magic of the colonial architecture found in the streets of La Candelaria and in the churches of La Concepción, Santa Clara, and San Ignacio.
This style contrasts with the contemporary architecture of buildings such as the Luis Ángel Arango Library, the Gabriel García Márquez Cultural Center, or the Bank of the Republic Museum.
During the Downtown Bogotá tour, you will walk along the "Eje Ambiental" and the traditional Carrera 7ma, a road that will lead us directly to the Plaza de Bolívar, the heart of the historic center and Colombia's political power. There, you can appreciate the National Capitol, the Palacio del Liévano, the Palace of Justice, the Primary Cathedral, and much more.
Contact Hansa Tours, charge your camera or phone, and get ready to capture, through the eyes of a professional photographer, the bohemian charm of Bogotá's historic center.

As a Social Anthropologist, he has a tremendous depth of knowledge about everything Colombia, and offers unique insights we otherwise would not have been exposed to. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our tour and appreciated Oscar's engaging, yet highly educational style. We walked away having learned so much, and made a new friend in the process!
