This tour offers a quick (but tasty) insight into the city center's historical and cultural processes, its architectural landmarks and its local life. La Candelaria is the historical, political and cultural heart of Bogotá. It is also the keeper of thousands of memories and surprises awaiting to be discovered. While we walk through its ancient streets, we'll get to see some of the city's most iconic landmarks and monuments. We'll also enjoy the city center's architectural blend. You'll see how this area is full of museums and has lots of street art!! The tour starts at Plaza de Bolivar (Bolívar Square), which is one of the most emblematic places in Bogotá due to the fact that this is were the spaniards founded the city back in the XVI century. From there we'll pay a panoramic visit to Santa Clara Museum and Casa de Nariño (the presidential palace). Then we'll visit Banco de la Republica's cultural center, which features Botero Museum and Luis Ángel Arango Public Library. Afterwards, we will head to the Concordia Market though Chorro de Quevedo's pathway and then we'll get a hot beverage in one of Bogotá's most traditional cafes. Afterwards, we will start walking up north through Carrera Séptima cultural corridor, while I share with you some interesting facts about the city's history and the Colombian way of life. We will finish our tour at a very unique restaurant & cultural center, where we'll have the chance to get something to eat, meet some people, listen some music and have a nice chat!
