Highlights

Tejo, the national sport of Colombia, involves hurling stones at tiny explosive targets. It has transitioned from rural areas to urban settings. The term ‘Tejo’ refers to a steel throwing object.

Incredible & Unique Experience - What a unique and fun experience in Bogota. Lorena contacted us ahead of time and was right on time for our pickup. She taught us about the sport of tejo and taught us how to play. Playing tejo and enjoying some local beers with Lorena was a fantastic start to our trip. We truly enjoyed the evening with her; this was definitely one of the most fun experiences we’ve had in all of our travels. Absolutely recommend!

Tejo and Beer - Great experience, drinking local beers and playing a traditional exploding Colombian game. Driver into our guy were very friendly and proprietor of the Tejo club was great. Fun music also.

Fun tour! You learn how to play and have plenty to drink! - We really enjoyed our night of Tejo! Daniel explained the game, the scoring and was great to spend the evening with. We had PLENTY to drink and learned how to play the game. We all had several explosions and lots of good conversation. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get an introduction to Tejo.

Authentic Colombian Experience - Cristian took my girlfriend and I to a traditional tejo bar in Bogota and it was a great time. We didn’t know anything about tejo before hand but Cristian taught us how to play and the background of the game. He also taught us some history about the area. The bar we went to was very authentic and the locals were extremely welcoming and friendly. Cristian speaks great English and was more than happy to translate for us when we spoke to some of the locals there. This was a very unique experience and it was the highlite of our trip!

Tejo and Beer - what a great experience! - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Colombia. We had so much fun! This is a great way to spend an evening. Plan to drink a lot of beer! Exploding targets, beer, much laughter. We appreciated the pickup from our hotel, and the return at the end of the evening. Luis was our guide, Cesar our driver. We also hired Luis for the Graffiti Tour the next day, in La Canderia. He is very knowledgeable, speaks English (a must for us), and a kind soul. Highly recommend trying to get Luis for any of the Gran Colombia Tours.
