The second largest city in South America, it houses one-sixth of the population of all of Colombia. On our tour we will visit the best sites and attractions of Bogota, including:
El Theatron – Enjoy The Theatron, one of the largest gay nightclubs in the world, the right way. Finding your way through the sketchy neighborhood to wait in a painfully long line only to wend your way through this mega clubs 18 dance floors can feel overwhelming. So let your vetted local guide lead you to our private VIP Bottle Service Area and where you’ll join a fun group of sexy locals invited for their energy and attitude. Like most latin clubs, things don’t get going at The Theatron until late, except in our private party produced exclusively for you.
The Montserrat Church – Sitting high above the city with spectacular views, the gondola ride up the mountainside makes it even more special.
Paloquemao Market – Shop with the locals at the largest market in all of Bogota. Sample the exotic fruits like the sweet and sour Lulo or the lychee like Mangostino or the strange Sweet Granadilla that cracks like an egg with orange like skin encasing sweet green edible seeds. Sample a tamale that’s distinct flavoring comes from the jungle herbs, stop for a coffee made from the freshest of beans, or just take in the people and colors and sounds of the hundreds of stands.
Lake Guatavita – Venture deep into the jungle for a day trip to Lake Guatavita where we will discover the site of El Dorado. In ancient times the Muisca high priest covered himself in gold dust and bathed in the middle of this perfectly round lake deep in the forest. The indigenous tribes crafted beautiful gold pieces that they would toss into the lake to appease the gods.
