Once again we have been on a tour
in the city center of Bogota to discover new and special products for you. We
proudly present a new tour to the central cementry of Bogota.
In the year 1836 the cementry of
Bogota was established in the outskirts of Bogota. The half day tour to the Central
Cemetery is essential if you want a deep understanding of the country and the Colombian
culture. It is a place of history and
religion, a place of magic, miracles and faith.
Here lie the remains of many
important figures from Colombian history: Presidents and revolutionaries, generals
and guerilla-leaders, presidential candidates who were killed by Pablo Escobar,
poets and scientists. It is surprising to see the cultural blendin: Historic
facts mix up with myths, catholic faith, superstition and witchcraft. One of
the “must dos” is the visit of the tomb of Leo Kopp, a jewish-german
businessman who emigrated from Germany to Colombia to found Bavaria – nowadays the
biggest brewery in Colombia.
Every day many people come to visit his golden
statue to whisper their wishes into his left ear. Leo Kopp is known and
respected for his financial success and care for his employees. Make your wish
come true …
