Day 2: BOGOTA
Breakfast at Four Seasons Casa Medina
Depart for a privately guided tour of the city. This tour includes a visit to the Candelaria neighborhood—the country’s finest collection of colonial and neoclassical architecture. The quarter's historic houses (or casonas) are characterized by iron- grated windows, monumental wooden doors, ornate balconies, and introverted gardens. At the center of it all is Plaza de Bolivar, anchored by the 16th century Cathedral Primada de Colombia with its twin bell towers. Flanking the plaza are the Palace of Justice and the National Capitol, which bear traces of renaissance and neoclassical lineage. Next stop, visit the Museo del Oro. The collection includes more than 34,000 pre-Columbian gold objects and another 20,000 stone, ceramic, textile, and precious stone artifacts. Last, visit Monserrate. The trip to the top can be made either by aerial tramway (approximately five minutes) or by glass-roofed funicular. Near the summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city, and learn about the significance of the hilltop sanctuary and its sacred images.
