As a proof of Colombian joyful and happy spirit: there is Tejo. A fun sport of humble origins made to share and laugh with your fellows.
If you want to be part of this unparalleled experience of Colombianness, join us in this private tour and enjoy a thrilling night.
Tejo is the Colombian national sport of throwing rocks at small explosives. It was brought from the countryside to the city. The word Tejo means steel projectile. Tejo or Turmequé is a Colombian game and traditional sport of throwing metal discs to a target that explodes when hit.
The fun of this – as with other activities – is doing it in good company. Immerse yourself and explore the Colombian roots in the game, and beer, and let us be part of it.

Knowing the story behind it is not letting her die.
What I can tell you at the beginning of the tour playing yew was the best way to break the ice. Between laughter, competition and an explosion, the experience felt very authentic and spontaneous, I could not ask for better.
After touring La Candelaria, full of history, colonial architecture and murals give an incredible contrast to the center of Bogotá. Rather than a sightseeing tour, it was a different way of understanding the city and its essence.
Without leaving aside the incredible and professional way of developing the activities of all its staff, it was a perfect mix that leaves me more eager to return another time to Bogotá.
A complete, different and fully recommended plan.
Thank you very much for the experience and thank you very much to all those who were involved throughout the tour.
Operator response

Incredible & Unique Experience
What a unique and fun experience in Bogota. Lorena contacted us ahead of time and was right on time for our pickup. She taught us about the sport of tejo and taught us how to play. Playing tejo and enjoying some local beers with Lorena was a fantastic start to our trip. We truly enjoyed the evening with her; this was definitely one of the most fun experiences we’ve had in all of our travels. Absolutely recommend!
