Overview

We believe travel is all about the people you meet and connect with, so we threw the script out the window to take you on a deep journey through La Candelaria.

We will start by visiting the main landmarks in La Candelaria and discover the stories hidden behind them. Then, we will step aside from the touristic area and visit our favorite 4 hidden gems.

Get to see the most touristic neighborhood through the eyes of locals, as we share with you our history, culture, current social and political situation and personal anecdotes.

During this experience, we are here to answer all the questions you may have and give you great local advise, making it a perfect introduction to Bogota. Consider us your new Colombian friends!
We look forward to meet you in our experience ;)
