Descripción del Tour:
The afternoon begins at Parque de la 93, a strategic meeting point where you will start a tour that unveils the vibrant essence of Bogotá’s most iconic neighborhoods. From here, we will move through areas that combine history, creativity, and local gastronomy, showcasing the city’s diversity and energy.
We start with a panoramic tour of Zona T, a modern and vibrant area where cafés, boutique shops, and urban art reflect the cosmopolitan side of the capital. This walk allows you to admire urban life and see how modernity and tradition coexist, without stopping physically.
Next, we move through Quinta Camacho, a neighborhood of English-style architecture that preserves Bogotá’s historical memory. Walking along its streets, surrounded by stately houses and small cultural spaces, you will appreciate how historic neighborhoods reinvent themselves while maintaining their architectural identity, as the guide shares stories and anecdotes connecting past and present.
Our first official stop is in Chapinero, where we will enjoy a tasting of artisanal cacao and craft beer. Each sip and bite connects the tour with local gastronomy and the entrepreneurial spirit shaping Bogotá’s culinary scene, offering a sensory moment that blends history, creativity, and flavor.
Next, we visit the house where “Betty la Fea” was filmed, an icon of Colombian popular culture with international recognition. With entrance included, you’ll have the chance to explore this emblematic space and understand how television has influenced the city’s cultural identity.
We continue through Parkway, a bohemian corridor with cafés and cultural spaces historically frequented by artists and creatives.

To finish, you’ll enjoy tejo or bolirana, traditional Colombian games combining skill, strategy, and fun. Tejo is played by throwing metal discs at a target with small gunpowder packets called mechas, creating mini-explosions on impact, while bolirana, similar to pétanque, consists of placing balls as close as possible to a central target. Both games allow direct interaction with local culture, encourage active participation, and ensure a fun, energetic tour finale.
