Day 2. Bogota - Bike Tour
This alternative bike tour around Bogotá simply doesn’t follow the formula, and that’s what makes it special. Sure, you could stick to the main sights in La Candelaria and become familiar with all of the standard tourist draws, but this tour aims to show you a different side to Bogotá, a local’s perspective. On your 25km ride, you’ll get the chance to visit Bogotá’s culinary heartland, the Zona G, jam-packed with exquisite, international dining options. From here, get to know the trendy, bohemian area of Chapinero, with its street artists, art galleries and numerous students. You’ll also cycle along one of the city’s commercial arteries, Calle 53, where you’ll see the city’s real beating heart in full flow.
Visit the Campin stadium, home to Bogotá’s two most popular football teams, before taking in some fresh air at the city’s largest park, Parque Simon Bolivar, a social, cultural and artistic hub. What’s more, you’ll get detailed information about the history of the park from the son of the architect who designed it.
