Overview

A private tour to a real Tejo field to learn and play Colombia's national sport, with beer included throughout.

Tejo is Colombia's official national sport: players throw a heavy metal disc at a clay-filled target embedded with small gunpowder charges (mechas), which spark and pop on a direct hit. Your private guide takes you to a real Tejo field, explains the rules and technique, and keeps the beer flowing throughout — a genuinely local, low-key evening activity rather than a typical sightseeing stop.

Highlights

  • Rules and technique Your guide teaches you how to throw and aim, and the scoring behind the game.
  • Local beer Colombian beer is included and flows throughout the session, Tejo-hall style.

About This Tour

A private tour to a real Tejo field to learn and play Colombia's national sport, with beer included throughout. Tejo is Colombia's official national sport: players throw a heavy metal disc at a clay-filled target embedded with small gunpowder charges (mechas), which spark and pop on a direct hit. Your private guide takes you to a real Tejo field, explains the rules and technique, and keeps the beer flowing throughout — a genuinely local, low-key evening activity rather than a typical sightseeing stop.

Tejo is the national sport of Colombia, formally recognized by law in the year 2000. Players hurl a heavy disc at a clay-filled box, and small paper packets of gunpowder placed on the target pop on a direct hit. Its roots are commonly traced to the Muisca, who may have played a similar game with gold discs, though that origin is traditional rather than firmly documented.

Scoring varies by venue, but hitting a packet, or mecha, earns the most points, and the game is traditionally paired with beer. For a first-timer, a private session means you can learn the technique without a crowded pitch.
