About this plan
Walking through La Candelaria is one of the best ways to soak up daily life in Bogotá, and this Colombian culture tour packs history, food, and tradition into a single route. You meet in front of Hostal The Cranky Croc, where a three hour guided walk through the historic center kicks off.
Along the way you visit the neighborhood's main landmarks and step into traditional markets to taste chicha, arepas, and buñuelos. The guide also takes you to a tejo hall, the country's signature sport, so you can try throwing the tejo and learn why it is part of Colombian identity.
The walk ends at Casa Magola, a great spot to sit down with a good coffee and recap the experience. It is a solid pick if you want a full introduction to Colombian culture in just a few hours.
