Tour Description
- Day 1 – Arrival in Bogotá: Explore the City at Your Leisure
Upon landing at El Dorado International Airport, a private transfer will be ready to escort you comfortably to your hotel in Bogotá, where you will reside for three nights. Once you have checked in, you can begin exploring the city at your own pace with one of the most flexible and comprehensive means of discovery: the Hop On – Hop Off tour.
This panoramic tour, designed for you to hop on and off at any desired location, will guide you through the most iconic spots of the Colombian capital. From the colonial streets of La Candelaria to the modern gastronomic districts of Zona G and Zona T, every stop invites you to immerse yourself in a piece of Bogotá's history, culture, and vibrant local life.
Wander among urban art murals, be amazed by the views from Monserrate Hill (entrance not included), explore traditional markets such as La Concordia, or savor local delicacies at Parque de los Periodistas. With the freedom to choose your pace and interests, this first day offers the perfect introduction to a city that blends modernity, tradition, and unique energy.
- Day 2 – Guatavita and Zipaquirá: The Legend of El Dorado and the Salt Cathedral
On the second day, prepare for one of the most remarkable excursions from Bogotá. Early in the morning, your adventure begins toward the highlands of Cundinamarca, with strategic stops at Parque de los Periodistas and Parque de la 93. The journey winds through verdant mountains leading to one of the most enigmatic sites in Colombian indigenous history: the Guatavita Lagoon.
Situated within the Chingaza Natural Park, this sacred lagoon was the site of ancient Muisca rituals, where the chief, adorned in gold dust, would immerse himself in its waters, offering emeralds and precious metals to the deities. This mythical ceremony inspired the legendary tale of El Dorado, which for centuries intrigued European explorers.
The hike along the Andean moorland trails, led by an expert local guide, will unveil the secrets of these ancient traditions and connect you with a silent and powerful landscape, where mist and wind create an almost supernatural environment.
Following this immersive experience in nature, the journey continues to Zipaquirá, a charming colonial town where you can enjoy free time for lunch and explore its cobblestone streets before visiting one of the most astonishing landmarks of contemporary Colombian architecture: The Salt Cathedral.
The day concludes with a brief visit to the historic center of Zipaquirá, offering free time to savor coffee, enjoy the local atmosphere, or purchase handicrafts before returning to Bogotá in the evening.
- Day 3 – Coffee and Tradition: Discovering Cundinamarca's Coffee Culture
Today, venture out of Bogotá to explore the coffee-growing heart of Cundinamarca, embarking on a journey that blends mountain landscapes, living history, and the delightful aroma of one of Colombia's most iconic products: its coffee.
After gathering with the group at designated meeting points, the tour will guide you through the lush hills surrounding the capital to reach a coffee farm. Under expert guidance, you will learn about the entire process behind a high-quality cup of coffee: from planting and harvesting to grinding and tasting. Discover traditional and sustainable techniques, passed down through generations, and sample the coffee varieties grown there, all in a serene natural setting.
The day will conclude with lunch (not included) at a traditional restaurant, before returning to Bogotá in the late afternoon.
This day offers an opportunity to reconnect with essentials, savor Colombia at its roots, and understand why Colombian coffee is acclaimed as some of the best in the world.

Your final day in Bogotá begins with a private transfer from your hotel to El Dorado Airport. If your flight schedule allows and you have a few extra hours, take the chance to enjoy one last walk around the city.
A farewell worthy of Bogotá: vibrant, diverse, and steeped in history at every turn.
