Tour Bogotá by bike with a local guide (Half-day)

I will guide you on this half-day bike tour of Bogota, Colombia, where not only will we explore and delve in to the beautiful and colourful district of La Candelaria, winding our way through its colonial-era landmarks and cobblestone streets, but we will also learn about the complex, rich, interesting and at-times violent history and culture of the city.

Bogota is the largest and capital city of Colombia, located in the centre of the country on a plateau nestled with the Andes Mountains. The popular “old town” district of La Candelaria is filled with museums, theaters and squares, and its buildings are a gorgeous blend of Spanish Colonial, baroque and art deco.

Our tour meets in the morning, where all relevant safety and gear information is dispensed. We then head off riding in earnest, as we cycle our way around the truly stunning streets of La Candelaria.

Some of the highlights of the trip include visits to Plaza del Chorro, Botero Museum, National Museum, Plaza Bolivar, Plaza San Victorino, Central Cemetry and the famous fruit markets of the area.

Along the way there will be ample time to admire the street art and monuments that dominate the landscape of the region, and we will also take the time to teach you about some of the violent history of the late 20th century civil war, and how it affected the people and regions of the country.

After a half-day of riding around our tour ends, hopefully having taught you about this city and its inspiring people and neighborhoods, and motivated you to explore and research more about this truly special place.

This is one of the most pleasant and magnificent ways to spend a half-day exploring Bogota – book now to experience!
