What you can expect

Begin your tour with a guided visit to the Colonial Museum, where you will explore the main social, economic, political, and artistic aspects that shaped more than 300 years of the city’s history during the vice-regal period.

Next, walk through the streets of La Candelaria, Bogotá’s oldest area, where you will learn about colonial architecture and understand how the city was originally organised from an urban perspective. Throughout the tour, discover the transformations Bogotá has undergone over time and how they have shaped the city we know today.

During the walk, enjoy a tasting of traditional cuisine from the Cundiboyacense Highlands, whose flavours are rooted in the cultural blending between European and Andean Indigenous traditions.

Finally, delve into the most representative aspects of New Granada Baroque art through a guided visit to three of Bogotá’s oldest churches: San Francisco Church, La Veracruz Church, and La Tercera Church, where you will admire altarpieces, religious imagery, and artistic expressions that reflect the spirituality and symbolism of the colonial era.
