What to expect
exploration of central Bogota starts out with a visit to the historical center, including passing by colonial
churches and the Botero and Gold museums, as well as a visit to the nation's main square, Plaza Bolivar.
From there, we'll ride north to a fruit market and taste from Colombia's huge variety of exotic, tropical fruits,
and then walk across the street for a game of tejo, Colombia's national sport.
After that, we'll ride up Carrera Septima, past Independence Park, the Bullfighting Stadium, the National Museum
and through the La Merced neighborhood, which feels like a bit of London with its English architecture. From there,
we enter the National Park to try fruit salads, juices, corn-on-the-cob and grilled meats.
Our stomachs filled, we ride west through the quiet and elegant Teusaquillo neighborhood to Calle 26, where we'll
admire some of Bogota's largest street murals. After photographing a sculpture by Colombia Fernando Botero, we ride
past the Memorial Center, dedicated to documenting human rights violations, and stop in a small coffee roaster.
Here, we see how Colombia's world-famous arabica beans are selected and roasted for export. Then we'll enjoy a
fresh brew of those delectable beans.
Finally, we'll ride back to our starting point in La Candelaria, finishing off with one of the few uphills on this
mostly-flat ride. The whole route covers about 12 kms.

Columbians are crazy cycelists, on a rainy day we went up to 3400m and we were not allone. My guide offered several routes and we did a 4 hour tour into the mountains at the south of Bogotá, the capital of biking in South America. Everywere it was possible to get food, drinks and have a talk to local cycelists. It was a rough tour on a well working MTB. Our trip end up on by a city tour on roads closed for cars. All in all an impressive experience. Thanks to Mike and Luis CarlosVery well organised with a great guide who was so informative about Bogota. We felt very safe and felt we got a good tour of Bogota.

This bicycle tour is a really fun and active way to explore the sights and sounds of Bogota for those visiting Colombia for the first time! Our group had a wonderful pair of guides who made sure everyone was comfortable and having a fun time. I'm so happy that I signed up to take this tour. It does help to have some prior experience biking in a major city, as the busy auto and pedestrian traffic can be a little overwhelming if you aren't used to biking in that kind of environment.Had a great tour! Learned a lot about older and more recent Colombian history, tasted the best fruits we’ve never encountered before and ended the tour with a great surprise! Would definitely recommend!
