- Barrio La Candelaria - Once everything is set, the adventure will start. The guide will first take you to the three founding plazas in La Candelaria to understand how the city has changed over time. From its indigenous beginnings to Spanish colonialism, independence, and modern times. Then, you will cycle along the seventh avenue, originally a salt road in indigenous times that now gathers Colombians of all walks.
- Parque Nacional - Stop by the National Park, half forest-reservoir, half-cultural hub. A typical weekend gathering spot for Bogotá’s denizens, where we will discuss broader changes in Colombia as a whole.
- ParkWay - Afterwards you will take the bike roads to the Parkway Boulevard, part of La Soledad’s neighborhood, a natural path full of trees, before crossing El Dorado Avenue, the road that takes you to the airport.
- Plaza de Toros de SantamarÃa - Before going back to La Candelaria, you will have the chance to cycle through hidden neighborhoods where graffiti has become a way of facing social issues.

Join us on an exciting bicycle tour of downtown Bogotá, led by one of our expert guides, and enrich your knowledge about the city’s history and culture.
Bogotá is brimming with historical charm. It has vastly expanded from its core, reflecting the constant flux that characterizes the city’s vibrant downtown. Simply ambling through the city can’t adequately capture its dynamic spirit. Our bicycle tour was conceived to reveal the broader face of this sprawling city with its half a millennia worth of history. By travelling on a bicycle, you can explore far more than you would be able to on foot or by bus!
We’ll take you through the city’s three primary plazas that mark the evolution of the city. Each plaza provides a glimpse into different eras - from indigenous rule, Spanish colonization, independence, to contemporary times, unravel how each location has undergone a symbolic metamorphosis over years.
