Experience Details

Are you ready to immerse yourself in the colors, flavors, and green mountains of our land? I invite you to live an unforgettable experience that begins with the excitement of buying fresh ingredients at the 7 de Agosto Market Square. Among fruit, vegetable, and handicraft stalls, you will immerse yourself in the very essence of our land. After exploring the bustling life of the square, we will embark on a journey to the green Eastern Hills of Bogotá. From the viewpoints above the road, you will contemplate our city and marvel at the serenity of the San Rafael Reservoir, a dam that is a green oasis of tranquility after the urban hustle and bustle. In my cozy country house, together we will prepare the emblematic ajiaco. While the aroma of potatoes and corn fills the air, we will take the opportunity to walk the forest trails, connecting with nature and feeding the soul. At the end of this unforgettable experience, and after a coffee, we will return to Bogotá.
