06:00 hours
Description
Bogotá is a chaotic city. I'll show you the city without embellishments and take you to places that tourist routes avoid.
I'll show you the city without embellishments and take you to places that tourist routes avoid. We'll visit the city's oldest cemetery, the flea market, and the museum of modern art. We'll ride the Transmilenio, which is similar to the underground metro.
Bogotá's central cemetery is the oldest in the city. Next to the tombstones of presidents, there are graves to which people attribute miraculous properties. The flea market (open only on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) is one of the busiest places in Bogotá. It attracts both antique lovers and the simply curious. You are unlikely to find anything of real value here, but you will certainly feel the spirit of the city and perhaps find some interesting trinkets. Mambo Museum of Contemporary Art: in addition to exhibition halls, there are workshops, a library, and a bookstore. We will talk about what Colombian art is currently experiencing and what inspires it.
Transmilenio - high-speed buses that run on dedicated lanes and are linked in a single urban network by a system of enclosed stations and transfer points. It is the equivalent of the underground. Let's take it to the Palokemao market.
