Bogota Indigenous Tour: Cosmovision & Wisdom of Native Peoples
Overview
This free indigenous tour through La Candelaria takes you to places where the cosmovision of the original peoples of Colombia is still alive today.
We will start at the Chorro de Quevedo, touring the graffiti of La Candelaria as a form of living memory of the territory. Then we will visit Casa Nativa, Semilla Nativa ONIC, Tejo Ancestral, Pacha Wasi and finally the Coca Embassy, indigenous cultural houses in La Candelaria that are meeting places where the communities share their ancestral knowledge, their art, their spirituality and their way of understanding the territory.
Along the way you will hear real stories of indigenous resistance told by Karina, guide of the Murui Muina people. The taste of chicha and coca tea is integrated into the experience, while you discover the true meaning of the coca leaf: its spiritual, medicinal and cultural value, beyond modern stigmas.
