About this plan
There is a side of Bogota you will not find on the usual postcards, and this alternative tour walks you right through it. The meeting point is Parque de la 93, the starting line for a route that cuts through neighborhoods with their own identity, murals, old houses, and trades that show another face of the capital.
The walk passes through Park Way, a tree-lined boulevard filled with cafes and bookshops. It then moves on to Quinta Camacho, a street of English-style houses that now hold restaurants. San Felipe comes next, a creative district packed with galleries. The tour also stops at the house used in Yo soy Betty, la Fea and at La Trocha, a brewery born out of the reincorporation process that followed the 2016 Peace Accords.
The day ends with tejo, a pre-Hispanic game that is still very much alive. It is a different kind of plan for anyone who has already seen the historic center and wants to get to know the city from the inside.
