About this plan
Walking through historic downtown Bogota is one of the best ways to get to know Colombia's capital, and this daily free tour lets you do it without paying a fee. A local guide takes you to the city's most iconic spots and shares its history.
The walk starts at the Gold Museum and moves through colonial plazas, historic facades, and legendary places like Chorro Quevedo, which is said to be the very origin of Bogota. It ends at the Gabriel Garcia Marquez Cultural Center, right in the heart of downtown.
