Lace up your walking shoes and come walk around the charming neighbourhood of La Candelaria. Discover more about the history and culture of the capital as you visit the main attractions to be found in this historic district, which preserves the heritage, history and customs of the people of Bogotá.


The La Candelaria Walking Tour starts nearby the Gold Museum (Museo del Oro), in the city centre. Your tour guide will be waiting for you with a delicious coca leaf tea to give you some energy before walking the streets of Bogotá. The first landmark you’ll visit is Eje Ambiental or Avenida Jiménez – an important avenue designed by architect Rogelio Salmona in the early twenty-first century. Then you’ll walk through La Candelaria to the Plaza de la Concordia, a local market where you can savour the aromas and tastes of fruits and vegetables that come from rural areas outside the city. Head down a narrow street leading to the square of Chorro de Quevedo to stop for a glass of chicha – a traditional drink made from fermented maize, drunk in ancient times by Colombia’s indigenous people.


After participating in this ritual, visit the Botero Museum, where you’ll learn more about Colombia’s famous painter and sculptor: Fernando Botero. Next, visit the Gabriel García Márquez Cultural Centre and then Plaza Bolívar, where you’ll find the city’s most important government buildings. Finally, you’ll end your Bogotá walking tour at Pasaje Rivas, a market full of traditional crafts. Finish on a delicious note with some warm pan de bono (a typical Colombian bread made from cassava flour) and a refreshing glass of avena –a typical creamy oatmeal drink
