Free Emerald Tour
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll start this free emerald tour at calle 11 #3-75 in La Candelaria, one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods of the Colombian capital and also known as the emerald district.
Did you know that Bogota is also famous for being the emerald capital of the world? Have you ever wondered how these precious stones are transformed into the dazzling gems we know? Get ready to discover these secrets and much more during this unique experience.
These green treasures attract people from all corners of the world, who travel to admire their unique beauty and to acquire a piece of this natural and cultural heritage. During our tour, we'll show you the history and mystery of these fascinating stones.
From their formation in the depths of the earth to their extraction and polishing process, we'll take you on a journey of discovery and wonder. Each emerald is a masterpiece of nature, shaped over millennia by geological forces and transformed by the artisanal skills of Colombian goldsmiths.
You'll also have the opportunity to admire some of the most impressive and unique pieces this country has to offer: from exquisitely crafted jewellery to unpolished pieces that showcase beauty in its most natural state.
To round off the free tour, we'll enjoy a tasting of Colombian coffee and other ancestral beverages. Finally, after a fascinating hour exploring the Colombian emeralds, we'll end the tour in the centre of Bogota.
