About this plan

Poetry Hour: poems to share is one of those free plans in Bogotá worth putting on your calendar. It is an open gathering at the Gabriel García Márquez Public Library, El Tunal branch, where the mic turns on so kids and their families can share poems they love, ones that make them laugh, or ones that help them say what feels hard to name.

The format is simple and friendly. Each person brings a poem they love and reads it to the group, with no pressure and at whatever pace their voice wants to set. It is a space to listen, read, and celebrate words through kids, with families joining in too.

If you are looking for a cultural, free, and different plan in Bogotá, this poetry hour in the south of the city is a solid pick.
