Itinerary
The tour will start when our driver picks you up at your hotel. Then he will drive you to El Chorro de Quevedo. Your guide and the technical assistant will hand you the bikes with their helmets.
Once everything is set, the adventure will start. The guide will first take you to the three founding plazas in La Candelaria to understand how the city has changed over time. From its indigenous beginnings to Spanish colonialism, independence, and modern times. Then, you will cycle along the seventh avenue, originally a salt road in indigenous times that now gathers Colombians of all walks.
Next, you will stop by the National Park, half forest-reservoir, half-cultural hub. A typical weekend gathering spot for Bogotá’s denizens, where we will discuss broader changes in Colombia as a whole.
Afterwards you will take the bike roads to the Parkway Boulevard, part of La Soledad’s neighborhood, a natural path full of trees, before crossing El Dorado Avenue, the road that takes you to the airport.
Before going back to La Candelaria, you will have the chance to cycle through hidden neighborhoods where graffiti has become a way of facing social issues.
The driver will take you back to your hotel and we’ll call it a day.

Traveler reviews
Fantastic time despite the rain
The bike tour was fantastic despite the rain. The guide very kind and helpful, we had plenty of breaks and stops when going over steep roads. We stopped for food and snack and the bathroom. Make sure to have plenty of small denominations under 20,000 pesos because there are no credit cards used in the very small food stalls.
Wonderful active tour in Bogota
We had a wonderful time with Jose. He was smart, fun, and knowledgeable. He took us to many places and explained the history and culture of the city. He was always checking to make sure my wife was able to keep up. Most of the tour was on bike lanes and quiet side streets which was nice. We definitely recommend this trip for anyone wanting an outdoor experience in Bogota.
Bit scary at times...
Bit scary at times because "bike paths" were often crowded with pedestrians meandering, but my guide did an excellent job making me feel safe.
Fab city cycling tour

A Tica bike through Bogota
Delighted with the tour. Very complete, plus the guide Bernardo was very friendly and attentive. I would repeat the tour again on a next trip. Many attractions are known and provide many recommendations.
