I was born and raised in Bogotá, and today I live in La Macarena, one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, full of restaurants, cultural events, and local life. Music has always been a part of me. Playing guitar and other instruments is my way of connecting with rhythm, creativity and people. As a host with 5Bogotá, I reconnect with my roots by guiding cultural and gastronomic experiences that share the city’s flavors, stories and energy. It is my way of celebrating Bogotá and the place I proudly call home.
Passionate about traveling and gaining the most out of every experience. Tasting strange food and connecting with locals it´s a must in my travel itinerary. When I am the local I love to bring people to my favorite places, show them real vibe of my native Bogotá. Finally if you are interested in Salsa, I´m the one to teach you what you need to know about Colombian party.
Sharing my knowledge and experience in architecture and photography are one of my favorite passions, especially in Bogotá the city where I was born. Walking the city to discover the newly contrasts between the old and the new architecture in the city are part of my constant hobbies. Join me to discover the best viewpoints of the city, plus the different type of architectural styles that merge in one same place at a time.
What I’m most passionate about is being a local in Bogotá and wandering through Downtown with friends and visitors. I love discovering new coffee spots together, sharing conversations, and capturing photos of the city’s hidden corners. Bogotá is alive every single day. As I walk through its streets, I come across street performers, colorful graffiti, a mix of old and modern architecture, live music, art galleries, and endless cafés. If you enjoy exploring cities without relying on Google Maps or rigid plans, open to being surprised at every turn, then come join me in this experience.
My mission in life is always about to share my learning, I want to spread and rescue the Colombian culture through the creation of drinks that are based on our heritage and unique local flavors. I want to become my city, Bogotá in one of the most touristic places, I´m sure we have all the power to do it! So follow me if want to explore the most exotic flavors mixed with the classic drinks.
I am an architect fascinated by the stories buildings tell. After completing my Master’s in Sustainable Design in Turin and working in Italy and Turkey, I brought my global perspective back to Bogotá. My professional work ranges from designing cultural spaces to award-winning projects like the Colegio Colombo Hebreo, featured in ArchDaily. Currently, I balance my time between my design studio and teaching at the university. As a host with 5Bogotá, I love walking the streets of the historic center, sharing a contemporary and deep look into the city’s urban evolution in English, Italian, or Spanish.
I'm a barista and a passionate coffee & food lover. I was born in Venezuela and I really enjoy connecting with people by sharing everything I've learned about specialty coffee. I'm also a salsa dancer, so if you're up for it, we can go out dancing and ``parchar`` for a while!
