Activity itinerary

Origen Bistro

To begin, you’ll meet with your guide at Origen Bistro Restaurant before moving on to “La Perseverancia” food market, a place created by the working-class people at the beginning of the XX century.
Plaza de Mercado La Perseverancia

  • Admission ticket included
There you’ll feel the typical atmosphere of a traditional Colombian food market as you talk to traditional cooks and locals, and try delicious fruits.
La Macarena
  • 10m

You’ll then walk all over La Macarena area, which was Bogotá’s bohemian area in the mid-XXth century. Nowadays, this area has been transformed into a recognisable zone of international restaurants and art galleries.
Florida, Bakery and Coffee shop
  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Afterwards, you’ll walk along the 7th street to enjoy the “Septimazo”, a very diverse path where you'll find street artists, singers, food karts and handicrafts, and will also identify some of the iconic buildings of the area. You’ll stop at the traditional “La Florida Bakery”, to taste delicious pastries and a hot drink like Aguapanela or hot santafereño chocolate with cheese. Heading southeast, you’ll appreciate downtown’s transformation with the new cultural, commercial and residential students buildings in contrast to colonial and republican constructions, before tasting an artisanal ice-cream made out of Amazonic exotic fruits.
Barrio La Candelaria

Next, you’ll walk through La Candelaria historic district to enjoy a savoury meal at a colonial restored house, where you can taste and see recipes from different regions of the country. At last, you’ll visit an indigenous store, where you’ll have the chance to taste some coca leaf products and have a chat with an indigenous woman from the Embera’s group. She’ll explain to you why Coca is not Cocaine and why it is a fundamental part of indigenous nutrition and a sacred plant. You’ll also get to know more about how they’ve struggled to preserve indigenous culture, economy, and traditions as they’ve faced conflicts with narcos, industry and the government.
