What To Expect

Museo del Oro

A tour of the Gold Museum in Bogotá is a fascinating immersion into Colombia's rich pre-Columbian heritage. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an impressive collection of more than 34,000 pieces of gold and other materials, carefully displayed to tell the story of the indigenous cultures that inhabited the territory. Each thematically organized room allows visitors to explore aspects of the daily life, worldview and religious ceremonies of these ancient civilizations. The jewel of the museum is the Hall of the Offering, where a sound and light show reveals the impressive Muisca Raft, symbol of the legendary El Dorado. This tour not only highlights the craftsmanship of the ancient goldsmiths, but also offers a unique window into the beliefs and myths that have shaped the country's cultural history.

Iglesia de Nuestra de la Candelaria

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, located in the heart of the La Candelaria neighborhood in Bogota, is a beautiful example of Spanish colonial architecture. Built in the 17th century, this church stands out for its elegant baroque façade and its interior decorated with gilded altarpieces and religious artwork. The temple is one of the oldest in the city and has been an important center of faith and culture throughout the centuries. In addition to its historical and architectural value, the church is known for its serene atmosphere and its role in local religious festivities, being a place of devotion for many Bogotanos.

    We had Milena as our tour guide and she filled the tour with interesting information in English and Spanish. We started our tour at Monserrate and completed it at the Museo de Botero. We had a very nice walk through Las Aquas, La Candeleria, Plaza de Bolivar and Plaza Nunez in between. We were able to see many things we had not seen before and my husband, a native Colombian, was able to see how things have changed and stayed the same. Thank you Milena for the very nice day.
