Immerse yourself in the history, culture and traditional gastronomy of Bogota through a guided and participative visit to the Plaza de La Concordia.

While you enjoy, we will give you a brief overview of the history and cultural importance of this emblematic space. Afterwards, we will accompany you on a guided tour of the market, where you will explore stalls of exotic fruits such as lulo, uchuva and curuba, with tastings of natural juices that will awaken your senses. You will also taste chicha and masato, prepared by a friendly peasant and indigenous producer, and visit a native plant and bonsai nursery. You will arrive at handicraft and souvenir stalls, interacting with merchants and learning their stories. Next, participate in a hands-on workshop to prepare a delicious ajiaco bogotano in a local restaurant, or enjoy a guided tasting of typical dishes such as arepa with cheese, hogao and natas dessert or cuajada con melao. To close, you will visit a contemporary art gallery in the same square, with a quick tour and talk with the guide about the current exhibition. Finally, you will have free time for shopping, photos or a last coffee, and you will receive a nice souvenir to remind you of this unique experience in La Candelaria, a perfect day to connect with the culture, flavor and tradition of Bogota!
