The Americano · Past scouting trip

Bogotá, October 2026

Completed: October 7-12, 2026

Our first scouting trip. Here's what the group did.

The recap

Five nights, one very good group

Our first scouting trip took a small group through Bogotá for five nights. It rained, the ponchos came out, and the group kept going. Here's what we did:

  • Plaza de Bolívar and La Candelaria in the rain, wearing ponchos
  • Monserrate
  • The Botero Museum
  • A market tasting at Paloquemao
  • Usaquén
  • Neighborhoods across estratos
  • Real home viewings
  • Dinners from neighborhood spots to high-end restaurants

What a guest said

“I attended the scouting trip in October and it was awesome. We visited neighborhoods in various estratos to cover all budgets. Actually viewed several homes. Dined at several restaurants ranging from delicious local Colombian food at neighborhood restaurants to high-end restaurants. We went to local food markets, including a cool one with an abundance of gorgeous flowers and a wide variety of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables. And of course we had a tour of historical areas… You simply will not get this type of experience without having a local escort, and Matt did an excellent job.”
