What to expect

  1. Parque de la Independencia
    30m
    Our tour begins at Parque de la Independencia, one of Bogotá's most historic public spaces. Originally created in 1907 and officially inaugurated on July 23, 1910, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Colombia's Independence, the park became the centerpiece of a grand national exhibition celebrating the country's progress and future.

    From here, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the traditional Las Nieves neighborhood, where Bogotá's famous flea markets await. It's the perfect starting point to discover the city's history, local culture, and hidden treasures before diving into one of its most authentic Sunday traditions.
  2. Torre Colpatria
    1h
    We will visit two flea markets. First, we'll explore a smaller local market before heading to the main attraction of the tour. Both markets have been held in the same location for decades and are carefully organized, offering everything from antiques and vintage collectibles to handmade crafts and unique local treasures.
  3. Carrera 7
    20m
    Later, we'll enjoy a locally known "septimazo" as we stroll along Bogotá's iconic Carrera Séptima. This popular local tradition consists of exploring the lively pedestrian avenue, browsing street vendors and artisan stalls, discovering unique handmade products, and experiencing the vibrant atmosphere created by musicians and local artists.
  4. Bogota
    10m
    To finish the tour, we'll visit a local artisan market, where you'll have the opportunity to browse traditional Colombian handicrafts and, if you wish, purchase an authentic and affordable souvenir to remember your time in Bogotá.
