The Experience

Tejo is Colombia's national sport—you throw metal discs at a clay target rigged with small explosives that detonate on impact. The guide picks you up from your hotel and takes you to a Tejo field in a popular downtown neighborhood, where you'll spend three hours throwing, drinking beer and watching locals play. The sport has humble countryside origins and moved into the city; the word Tejo itself means steel projectile. What makes it a sport rather than just target practice is the company—you play in a group, trade turns, and the noise and celebration are part of the rules.

You'll get a personalized lesson on how to throw and score before you start playing. The guide walks you through the technique and the scoring system, then you join in with other travelers and locals at the field. Four beers per person are included, and the variety of local options means you're tasting what people in Bogotá actually drink while they play. The screaming and laughing are constant—it's the sound of the sport itself, not decoration.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport to the field. The guide contacts you the day before to confirm timing and answer any questions. All-risk insurance covers you during play. Public transportation is available nearby if you prefer to meet the group at the field instead.
