La Candelaria Neighbourhood Free Tour
Description
At the scheduled time, we'll meet at Carrera 7 con calle 11 and from there, we'll begin to discover every corner of the historic neighbourhood of La Candelaría. Did you know that Bogota was founded here in 1538?
As we walk down the steep cobblestone streets, we'll hear about the important cultural heritage and architecture of this area of the Colombian capital, as well as the stories behind the names of the streets.
During the free tour, we'll pass by some of the most famous museums in Bogotá, such as the Museum of Independence - Casa del Florero or the House of Manuelita Sáenz, which commemorates Colombia's independence.
We'll also admire several architecturally impressive churches and chapels that boast fine examples of colonial art, such as famous works by the painter Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos.
Additionally, we'll make a stop in front of Quinta de Bolívar, which now serves as a museum house. This was once the residence of Simón Bolívar, a pivotal figure in the war of independence, renowned as "el Libertador."
Finally, after 3.5 hours together, we'll say our goodbyes back at the starting point.
