Culture · Bogotá
Bogotá sits at 2,640 m. Walking uphill here is harder than it looks — take it slowly on your first day. This is a pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth walk: the figure shown is a suggested contribution, it is the guide’s entire income for the morning, and none of it goes into our donation programme.
The colonial quarter where Bogotá was founded and where most of its history has since been argued about — ochre and indigo houses, the Plaza de Bolívar, and the streets where the Bogotazo started.
Private historian, a route built around what interests you, and a car for the hills rather than walking them.

The hillside barrio that went from the most feared address in Medellín to an open-air gallery, walked with someone who grew up in it. Outdoor escalators, murals with meanings, and the 2002 military operation told by the people it happened to.

Twenty-three fat bronze Boteros standing in a public square, and upstairs the best collection of Colombian art outside Bogotá. The museum also holds the country’s most uncomfortable modern painting, and we will show you it.

Culture
The downtown most visitors are told to avoid, walked properly with a guide who can explain why it looks the way it does. Four hours through Parque Berrío, the Palacio, Botero’s square and the streets where the city actually works.
