We met our waking tour guide at El Chorro de Quevedo around 2pm.

She started off the tour by briefly talking about the importance of Graffiti (apparently a past president once endorsed it).

She then went on about Chicha, which was the main alcoholic drink before beer came into play. It actually tastes pretty good (like orange cream soda and vodka).

We then went on to try some various popular fruits in Bogota (not sure about most of them, but apparently Guanabana is believed to get rid of cancer. That fruit is green, with pointy sides).

We then made our way to Embajada de la coca. There we tried coca leaves (by chewing them on one side of the mouth, which had a bit of a numbing effect on the tongue and side of the cheek). We also tried some tea, which also had an interesting neural effect. In addition, we tried some cookies, which didn’t really do anything.

They also talked about a device that they used to mix coca leaves with one of three ingredients, which helped connect the “coca leaves to Mother Earth”.

After, we made our way to where the Senate and the Justice building were (and apparently Narcos spun the story a bit different about the Justice building being attacked by Pablo Escobar. Apparently the M19 was not hired by him, but did it on their own since they wanted to put president at the time on trial for trying to disrupt the peace process).

After, we made our way to the president’s buildings.

The last stop of the tour was a coffee shop, where we had some drip coffee (forget the exact name, but it had 60 degree in it). Apparently most of the best Colombian coffee gets exported while only some stay within the country. This place had some the good stuff that stayed inside.
