Tour description
Perched high in the Andes, Bogotá is Colombia's energetic and cultured capital, a city where colonial churches, bold street art and world-class museums sit side by side beneath green mountains. On this walking tour a local guide leads you through the historic La Candelaria quarter, the colourful heart of the city.
You will stand in the vast Plaza de Bolívar, wander cobbled lanes bright with murals, and hear stories of independence heroes, gold-working peoples and modern Colombia's remarkable transformation. Add in the famous street-art scene and the legend of El Dorado, and Bogotá becomes a fascinating city to discover on foot.
