Breakfast at the hotel. At the scheduled time, we'll head to Bogotá's historic center, we will go from 2,600 meters above sea level to 3,152 meters when we visit the cultural and religious symbol of the city, the Monserrate Sanctuary. There, the image of the “Fallen Lord of Monserrate” is venerated. Enjoy the best view of Bogotá up there, along with its forests, gardens, and fountains. We then visit the Gold Museum, which houses archaeological collections and exhibition of pre-Colombian indigenous gold and pottery artifacts, featuring over 30,000 pieces of gold. Next, we visit a local market to taste some delicious typical Colombian fruits. The tour continues with a walking tour through the historic center, including Bolívar Square and nearby colonial architecture streets, where you’ll see the Colón Theater, the San Carlos Palace, and other significant buildings such as the National Capitol (legislative center), the Presidential Palace (Casa de Nariño), the Mayor's Office, and the Primatial Cathedral. Then we take you back to the hotel.
Consider: The Gold Museum is closed on Mondays and therefore it’s visit will be replaced with the Botero Exhibition (closed on Tuesdays). Monserrate is highly visited on weekends and holidays.
Duration: 6 hours. Private service includes transportation, an english-speaking guide/driver, entrance to the Gold Museum, going up Monserrate, and seasonal fruit tasting.
