Join this tour of Bogota and check off your list important sights as La Candelaria, Botero Museum, Chorro de Quevedo, Plaza de Bolivar, and Gold Museum.
Embark on a comprehensive exploration of the vibrant city of Bogotá with our exclusive tour that seamlessly combines the best of two experiences into one unforgettable adventure. This City Expedition offers the most efficient way to explore the iconic and significant landmarks of Bogotá in half the time, all while benefiting from the expertise of a seasoned guide with extensive knowledge of Colombia's historical and contemporary context. Following this urban exploration, descend 180 meters underground to be captivated by a world-class Colombian marvel: a majestic cathedral built within the depths of the Earth's largest salt rock reserve.
Your day commences as your private driver picks you up from your hotel, setting the stage for your first stop at the Monserrate Sanctuary nestled within the imposing Eastern Hills of the city, at an altitude of 3150 meters above sea level. Ascending to the mountain's summit via a cable car, you'll arrive at the city's most renowned pilgrimage point and arguably the most spectacular viewpoint in the capital. This vantage point provides the ideal setting to grasp the historical and spatial context of the city.
Continuing your journey, descend towards the charming cobblestone streets of La Candelaria to explore the Botero Museum, showcasing artworks by the eccentric artist Fernando Botero, an icon of Colombian contemporary art. A stop at Chorro de Quevedo follows, allowing you to appreciate the contrast of the downtown historical center and gain a nuanced understanding of Colombian history.
After the walking tour in La Candelaria, arrive at Plaza de Bolívar, surrounded by administrative and governmental buildings that serve as icons of the historical processes in the country.
To conclude the city tour, cross La Candelaria's borders to immerse yourself in the impressive collection of indigenous gold artifacts at the Gold Museum. Before leaving, seize the opportunity to shop at the handicrafts market at Parque Santander.
Following the city tour, proceed to the charming town of Zipaquirá, where you'll visit the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral. This unique site harmoniously blends the mysticism of the Muisca indigenous culture, Catholic symbolism, and contemporary engineering, guiding visitors through tunnels and vaults of impressive proportions.
Inside the converted old salt mine, artists and sculptors have manipulated underground materials to create original representations of Catholic symbols. Gain insights from an expert guide into the artistic process and the meanings behind the artworks you'll encounter on the tour.
Subsequently, explore the colonial village of Zipaquirá, walking through the main square surrounded by several buildings declared national monuments. Indulge in the delectable baked foods of the region and explore the local handicraft market. Finally, head back to Bogotá, where you'll be chauffeured to your hotel, concluding this extraordinary journey through Bogotá's cultural and historical tapestry.
