IGGSK Kitty Details

This trip is an overland trip run in an overland truck. In addition to paying for your trip, you're require to make a separate payment to your tour leader at the start of the trip, usually in USD. Kitties are flexible and change as prices are updated. Therefore you should check the latest kitty amount on this website before you depart.

A kitty is a group fund which covers all accommodation, meals while camping (not in hotels) and activities listed as included. It's a system unique to overlanding to provide the maximum flexibility and best value on the road (you get everything at cost price!). The kitty is your money, not ours, so any amount left over is divided among the group as a refund.

Day
1

Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 2pm on Day 1.
 
You can arrive at any time as there are no activities planned until this important meeting; please ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting so please ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader.
 
Your leader will take you on a walking tour of downtown Bogota.
 
With well over seven million people living on a plateau at 2,640 m above sea level, Bogota is one of the biggest cities in the world at altitude. And with a wealth of cosy cafes, interesting museums and old churches, the cosmopolitan streets of Colombia's capital are full of surprises.
 
Head up the gondola on Cerro de Monserrate, where a 17th-century church overlooks the metropolis.
 
Museo Nacional is a good option if you're interested in learning about life in Colombia before and after the Spanish conquest.
