It’s different to walk through here 

 By Fredy Calderón 

It’s not just any street. 

 It’s not just any place. 

 Walking through here… changes everything. 

It’s no longer a stroll. 

 It’s a necessity. 

 Returning to these streets gives you the strength to face the day. 

Red ceramic rooftops. 

 Ancient clay walls. 

 Windows that hold secrets. 

 Everything speaks to you. 

 Everything embraces you. 

You need to be here. 

 To remember. 

 To feel. 

 To revive that love you need to enjoy and thrive in a vast, chaotic city. 

You slip into the Callejón del Embudo. 

 When you need to cross a threshold. 

 One that cleanses you. 

 That detoxes you from modernity. 

 That expands your view inward. 

 Toward what’s unique. 

 Toward what truly matters. 

Surprisingly, you learned this from the tourists. 

 And they no longer bother you. 

 On the contrary. 

 Every time you see them on those walking tours, you feel refreshed. 

Discover the La Chorrera waterfall hike, the Coffee Farm Tour near Bogotá, or the Salt Cathedral & Muisca Legacy tour — each one a doorway into Colombia’s soul.

 Because thanks to them, you found what you needed. 

You emerge. 

 After the cobbled street, you arrive at the Chorro de Quevedo. 

 And you repeat it. 

 Like a ritual: 

 “I need you and I love you, Chorro.” 

You open your eyes. 

 You see old houses turned into cafés. 

 People taking photos by the ancient fountain. 

 And you walk with energy. 

 As if you’d been reborn. 

Bohemia brings you joy. 

 It helps you feel human. 

 In a city of towering buildings and routine speed. 

This pause teaches you to love it. 

 It shows you that everything passes through this point, again and again. 

 That’s how the city stays young. 

 And vibrant. 

La Candelaria is a rebirth. 

 For locals. 

 For travelers. 

 For you. 

You head to that high point. 

 Where you can sit and look out. 

 The city changes. 

 But this never does. 

 These are the roots of your home. 

 And they give you peace. 

Then, looking down, you relax. 

 You breathe. 

 And you repeat it. 

 Like a mantra. 

 “I need you and I love you, Bogotá.”
