It is also considered the first wonder of Colombia and was once a candidate for the New Seven Wonders of the World. After the visit, we’ll have free time for lunch (lunch not included) before continuing to Bogotá’s Historic Center. There, we’ll take a walking tour around Bolívar Square and its surroundings, where we’ll admire emblematic landmarks such as the National Capitol, the House of the Comuneros, the Santa Clara Church Museum, and the Casa de Nariño the presidential residence and birthplace of Antonio Nariño, a hero of Colombia’s independence.

We’ll begin in the renowned El Poblado district, taking the route toward the famous Comuna 13 once considered one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the world, and today admired for its story of resilience and social transformation through art and innovation. Accompanied by a local guide, we’ll walk through its unique streets, admire the colorful graffiti, and experience the world’s first open-air electric escalator system.
