Hey beer lovers—Behind the Pint is a craft beer and food walking tour through La Candelaria, Bogotá's historic heart. Over four hours, you'll wander cobblestone streets and colonial plazas while discovering a side of the city most visitors never see.
Enjoy 13 curated tastings—from independent Colombian craft breweries to ancestral spirits—each paired with regional bites from small, local spots we love.
Along the way, play traditional Colombian bar games like Tejo and Bolirana, and discover hidden salsa venues after dark.
What sets this tour apart? Your guides aren't just locals—they're professional historians and gastronomy experts, offering deeper insight into every story and flavor.
Music like cumbia, vallenato, salsa, and champeta brings the experience to life, alongside tales of history, legends, and street art.
More than a beer tour, it's a journey into Bogotá's culture—one sip at a time.
