Itinerary

1. Iglesia de San Diego
San Diego Church, formerly a convent, is one of the oldest churches located in what is now known as the International Center of Bogotá (CIB). Founded 424 years ago by Franciscan friars, this church stands as a living reminder of religion and history in the very heart of Bogotá.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Plaza de Toros Santamaria
La Santamaría Bullring, now known as La Santamaría Cultural Plaza, is a striking example of Bogotan architecture, recognized for its characteristic red brick façade.
Duration: 10 mins
3. Torres del Parque
Torres del Parque, located in the La Macarena neighborhood, consist of three red-brick buildings designed by Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona between 1965 and 1970. Their elegant curves echo the shapes of the city’s eastern hills, making them an emblem of modern Colombian architecture.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Parque de la Independencia
Bogotá is also known for its abundance of parks. Parque de la Independencia is one of the city’s most emblematic green spaces, located right across from Carrera Séptima and adorned with sculptures of historical figures such as Copernicus.
Duration: 30 mins
5. Torre Colpatria
In front of one of Bogotá’s tallest towers, visitors will enjoy one of the city’s most traditional snacks — a hot chocolate served with cheese and amasijo, a typical baked good made primarily from corn starch — a true taste of Bogotan culture.
