Chorro de Quevedo (Quevedo's fountain) is a fountain located in the neighborhood of La Candelaria in Bogotá. It signifies the purported location were Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, a Spanish conquistador, first established the foundations of Bogotá in 1538. Also, it is considered the place where the Zipa, or chief of the Muisca tribe, would regularly survey the Bogotá savanna. In 1832, an Augustine priest named Father Quevedo purchased the site and built a fountain there. The original fountain was destroyed in 1896, due to pipe damage from a collapsing bridge. It is located above Calle 13 and Carrera 2. In the plaza, there is a small white chapel called the Hermitage of San Miguel del Principe that was built in 1969 on the site of the very first chapel in Bogotá. It is based on a reconstruction of a church that was once in Santander Plaza but razed because the external appearance was too plain. The church steps and the nearby arch was built by Javier Olave to recognize the local "lunatics": Bobo del Tranvía, the Conde Cuchute, the Loca Margarita. Several films have been shot at this location, including La estrategia del caracol and Diástole y sístole. These films reflect the bohemian subculture of the area. There are narrow alleyways nearby that have artist studios and hostels. Colorful street art can be found on nearby walls. There are also local establishments nearby that serve chicha. In the square, public storytellers can be found. This is the oldest site in all of the Candelaria and Bogota, for it was here that the first houses of the city were constructed. The famous Chorro de Quevedo (Quevedo’s Stream), which is recent years has been converted in one of the must-see touristic sites of Bogota. The site consists of a little square and a narrow street called La Calle del Embudo (Bottleneck Street). This street is picturesque and one can stroll this street while appreciating the various handcrafts and different paintings on the walls of the old houses, which today have been converted into bars and artisanal shops. As a recommendation for when you visit this fun spot (because you will see that it’s entertaining), don’t forget to ask for “La Bendita” (The Blessed), the Museum of la Chicha, which is decorated by typical antiquities of Bogota where you can mash corn and learn a little about the history of Bogota and, of course, drink the ancestral drink of the region, chicha.
