Tours/Rentals
What to Bring
Rentals — Night Tours — Kids
We offer tours through the historic La Candelaria neighborhood and the rest of Bogotá.
Discover the colorful history and culture of La Candelaria, with its theatres and nightlife, taste tropical fruits, cruise through Bogotá’s many parks, witness its surprising urban renewal and get to know some of the people and colorful neighborhoods of Colombia’s capital. Or learn how the nation’s drug-fueled civil war has impacted Bogotá and the Colombian people.
The best way to enjoy these experiences and see Bogotá and its people up close is by bicycle!
Our tours vary with riders’ interests and abilities. Places we often pass or visit include the Plaza del Chorro, the Botero Museum and the National Museum; Plaza Bolívar, Plaza San Victorino, Parque del Renacimiento with its Botero Sculpture, Bogotá’s Central Cemetery, the fruit markets of Palo Quemao and the Egipto neighborhood; the Londonesque La Merced neighborhood; Third Milenium Park and its Disarmament Sculpture; the Gabriel Garcia Marquez Cultural Center, the National University with its Che Guevara Plaza; Independence, National and Símon Bolívar parks; the Bullfighting Stadium, the Train of the Savannah, the Plaza de Lourdes and many others. On our tours, we also talk about human rights and Colombia’s troubled and often violent history and present.
Ride with us to Simon Bolivar Park - but don't jump into the lake!
Tours leave our shop on Carrera 3, No. 12-72, in La Candelaria, every day at 10:30 a.m. and often 1:30 p.m. (Please arrive a half hour early to choose your bike.) The cost is 25,000 pesos/person.
Give us a call at (57) 1 -281-9924 or E-mail: bogotabiketours(@)gmail(.)com.
Or ride North Bogota, with its broad streets, less traffic and separated bike lanes. (Be sure to reserve this tour a few days in advance.)

What to Bring
You may want to bring a hat, sunblock and long-sleeved shirt (we are at 2,600 meters altitude, in the tropics), a bottle of water (tho you can buy water and juices along the way) and a few thousand pesos spending money. You might also bring a jacket, as the weather here is very changeable. Many people also bring cameras.
Last but not least, don’t forget your enthusiasm, curiosity and spirit of fun!
Kids
We have children’s bikes and also a baby seat which can be fitted to some of our bikes. If you want to use the baby seat, please make arrangements in advance.
