Today we want to
present two new touristic products in Bogota which focus on experiences with
local people and the authenticity of the Colombian culture.
Here we go …
Having dinner with a Colombian family
In the evening we will experience
a typical national dish in typical Colombian middle class Family. After the
transfer to their house you will have time to talk with the family members
about different topics of the current living conditions in Colombia. A great
start to get in contact with the the colombian culture and to explore the every
day life of Colombians.
For dinner it is served the typical main dish of
Bogota, the Ajiaco, a Chicken and Potato Soup. Colombians food is very diverse
and each region of the country is having its own characteristic food. You will
have enough time to ask almost any question you want. After a cup of coffee it
is time to drive back to your local hotel. Duration: approximately 4 hours
Playing Tejo,
Colombia´s national sport
Playing tejo requires great ability and
concentration. It is the designated national pastime of Colombia, a sport
invented by the Chibcha Indians. Metal discs are thrown at the targets, and those targets embedded in sand
are small explosive charges of gunpowder wrapped in paper known as mechas. The
goal is to hit these Mechas with your Tejo, so that the
black powder will explode.
Our private transport picks you up from
your hotel in the afternoon and takes you to one of Bogotá's beery tejo venues.
These are very rustical authentic places, where people use to drink a lot of
beer.
Duration: approximately 2-3 hours.
