## About this plan

Bogotá holds a story that goes back long before the colonial era. This indigenous culture tour takes you through that lesser-known side of the historic center, where every plaza and mural speaks to the first peoples who lived on this land.

Over three hours, you will walk through La Candelaria and the main streets of downtown. You will pass by the Aguas plaza, the Muisca Astronomical Observatory, the Colombian Academy of Language, and the Yerbas plaza, among other stops. The guide connects each site with topics like the origin of the universe, the country's linguistic diversity, and the relationship between native peoples and nature.
