This bike tour lasts about three and a half hours and takes place in the La Candelaria neighborhood of Bogotá. Participants meet the guide and technical assistant at Chorro de Quevedo Square, where bikes and helmets are provided. The guide leads the group to the three founding plazas of La Candelaria to explain the city's development from indigenous times through Spanish colonialism, independence, and modern Bogotá. The ride continues along Seventh Avenue, a historic route originally used as a salt road. The tour includes a stop at National Park, a mix of forest and cultural space where the guide discusses broader Colombian changes. Cyclists then follow bike paths to Parkway Boulevard in La Soledad, a tree-lined natural route, crossing El Dorado Avenue toward the airport. Before returning to La Candelaria, the group cycles through lesser-known neighborhoods noted for graffiti addressing social issues. The tour is guided by an expert and includes all-risk insurance, a bike, helmet, and technical support. It runs in all weather conditions, and participants must know how to ride a bike. The tour may be conducted in both English and Spanish depending on the group. Tips are paid in advance. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.
