Experience the Thrill of Tejo – Colombia’s Explosive Traditional Sport

Step into the heart of Colombian culture with Tejo, a fun and energetic ancestral sport from the central region of the country. Perfect for families and friends, this experience offers a unique and exciting way to connect with a cherished tradition of Bogotá’s communities.

What is Tejo?
Tejo combines skill, precision, and a bit of adrenaline. Players throw a metal disc (called a tejo) toward a clay-filled board with explosive targets. The goal? Hit marked zones and make the gunpowder-packed fuses boom!

The board includes:

Fuses – small packets of gunpowder that explode on impact

Targets – numbered sections that score points

Ranchos – special areas for bonus points

Play in teams, compete for the highest score, and celebrate every explosive hit. Whether you’re a beginner or just in it for the fun, Tejo is a loud, lively, and unforgettable cultural experience.
