The experience

Hotel pickup starts the day, and your guide meets you with transport already arranged. The Colombian National Museum is the oldest in the country, and the collection inside spans millennia: artefacts from 10,000 years BC sit alongside twentieth-century indigenous and Afro-Colombian art. Your guide walks you through the pieces and explains the history each one carries, from the earliest settlements to the cultural movements that shaped the nation.

The museum itself holds over 20,000 objects, so the guide shapes the route to what matters most in four hours. You move through galleries of national art and discover local artists whose work sits in the permanent collection. The itinerary also takes in Tequendama Falls, one of the main museums in Bogota's landscape. All of this (transport, entry, the guide's time, taxes and fees) is included. You bring nothing but yourself and comfortable clothes in the smart casual range.
