About this plan
Have a long layover in Bogota and want to make the most of it? This private tour is built for exactly that. A guide meets you at El Dorado Airport with a sign in your name, takes you downtown, and brings you back in time for your flight. It is the easiest way to see the essentials of the capital in a few hours.
The route passes through Plaza de Bolivar, with the National Capitol, the Palace of Justice, the Mayor's Office, and the Primatial Cathedral. The visit then continues at the Gold Museum and its nearly 6,000 pre-Columbian pieces. If your layover falls on a Monday, that museum is closed, so you visit the Botero Museum instead.
The full activity lasts about 5 hours, with around 3 hours of sightseeing in the city. For the plan to work, you need at least 7 hours between flights, including immigration time.
