Use Visit Bogotá’s downtown walking route to link Parque de los Periodistas, La Candelaria, Chorro de Quevedo and Plaza de Bolívar; its full-day version continues to Monserrate and other stops. A separate, shorter La Candelaria loop from Plaza La Concordia is estimated at three to four hours. Simón Bolívar Park is a separate outing west of the historic core. Check event notices before either visit: the plaza and park host public gatherings and large events.
