    Our tour begins at Parque de la Independencia, one of Bogotá's most historic public spaces. Originally created in 1907 and officially inaugurated on July 23, 1910, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Colombia's Independence, the park became the centerpiece of a grand national exhibition celebrating the country's progress and future. From here, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the traditional Las Nieves neighborhood, where Bogotá's famous flea markets await. It's the perfect starting point to discover the city's history, local culture, and hidden treasures before diving into one of its most authentic Sunday traditions.
