Highlights

Group bike tours begin at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. every day (private tours can start at any time). This four-hour \n\nexploration of central Bogota starts out with a visit to the historical center, including passing by colonial \n\nchurches and the Botero and Gold museums, as well as a visit to the nation’s main square, Plaza Bolivar.\n\nFrom there, we’ll ride north to a fruit market and taste from Colombia’s huge variety of exotic, tropical fruits, \n\nand then walk across the street for a game of tejo, Colombia’s national sport.\n\nAfter that, we’ll ride up Carrera Septima, past Independence Park, the Bullfighting Stadium, the National Museum \n\nand through the La Merced neighborhood, which feels like a bit of London with its English architecture. From there, \n\nwe enter the National Park to try fruit salads, juices, corn-on-the-cob and grilled meats. \n\nOur stomachs filled, we ride west through the quiet and elegant Teusaquillo neighborhood to Calle 26, where we’ll \n\nadmire some of Bogota’s largest street murals. After photographing a sculpture by Colombia Fernando Botero, we ride \n\npast the Memorial Center, dedicated to documenting human rights violations, and stop in a small coffee roaster. \n\nHere, we see how Colombia’s world-famous arabica beans are selected and roasted for export. Then we’ll enjoy a \n\nfresh brew of those delectable beans. \n\nFinally, we’ll ride back to our starting point in La Candelaria, finishing off with one of the few uphills on this \n\nmostly-flat ride. The whole route covers about 12 kms.\n\nPoints of Interest\n\n- Cra. 3 #12-42

The best bike tour in Bogota - The best bike tour in Bogota. 2 bike tours every day, we did the one that starts at 10.30 and lasts 4 hours. Cost 60,000cop per person. The tour takes you to the center of Bogota, to see the murals, the old bullfighting stadium, a market where you can eat fruit, a coffee factory, some Botero statues etc etc. The guides are good. Good bikes. A great tour. You book online and pay on the spot.

Great tour with our guide ELLIE!! - Amazing time!! Ellie was our guide and she is so friendly and fun. She took us to several different places around the city, and made stops to tell us historical events of each places, and the history of Colombia in general. She is very knowledgeable!! We visited a fruit market and also a family coffee roaster and cafe. Also shout out to our mechanics and friends Manuel and Kevin!! So glad I booked this tour. If you can go during ciclovía, even better- every Sunday the city shuts down all the main avenues for cyclists and pedestrians. Thank you Ellie!!!
