Itinerary

Day 1
Bogota
The day began in Bogotá, where the group arrived early in the morning. The morning was spent settling in and getting acquainted with the surroundings. After a brief rest, the group embarked on a sightseeing tour, exploring the vibrant streets and historic landmarks of Bogotá. They visited notable sites such as the Gold Museum, which houses an impressive collection of pre-Hispanic gold artifacts, and the picturesque neighborhood of La Candelaria, known for its colonial architecture and colorful murals. As the afternoon unfolded, the group continued their exploration by visiting the bustling Plaza de Bolívar, the heart of Bogotá's historic district. Here, they admired the grandeur of the Primate Cathedral and the imposing structures of the Palace of Justice and the Liévano Palace. The tour also included a visit to the Casa de Nariño, the official residence of the President of Colombia. Following this, the group took a break to enjoy a traditional Colombian lunch at a local restaurant, savoring dishes such as ajiaco, a hearty chicken and potato soup, and bandeja paisa, a platter featuring a variety of meats, beans, and rice. In the evening, the group ascended to Monserrate, a mountain that offers breathtaking views of the city. They reached the summit via a funicular railway and spent time at the sanctuary, a popular pilgrimage site. As the sun set, the panoramic view of Bogotá illuminated by city lights provided a stunning backdrop for reflection and photographs. The group then descended and returned to the city center, where they had the opportunity to explore local markets and shops, purchasing souvenirs and experiencing the lively atmosphere of Bogotá's nightlife. The night concluded with a tasting of local cuisine at a renowned restaurant, where the group sampled a variety of Colombian dishes and beverages, including arepas, empanadas, and aguardiente, a traditional anise-flavored liquor. After a fulfilling day of activities, the group returned to their accommodations in Bogotá, ready to rest and prepare for the next day's adventures.
