Party Crawl: 6 Nightclubs, DiscoTruck, AfterParty, 1h Openbar pub
Book on Viator →Operated by Mau HiPinto · Bookable on Viator
One of Bogotá’s easiest ways to start partying fast. This party crawl strings together rooftop drinking games in La Candelaria, a Chiva Rumbera disco-bus ride, and a night that ends in Zona T with multiple high-energy club stops. I like that it’s built for social momentum: you’re doing games and meeting people before you ever reach the big clubs.
The best part for me is the pacing. You get a tour of neighborhoods (old center to Zona T) while still hitting top venues like Federal Rooftop and Fabuloso Rooftop, then you can keep going at an afterparty spot until early morning. One thing to consider: the $5 base price doesn’t automatically mean open-bar and every club entrance—those add-ons matter, so check what you’re paying for before you show up.

From La Candelaria to Zona T: The Night’s Route Makes Sense

Bogotá nightlife can feel spread out, especially if you’re new to the city. This crawl fixes that by starting in La Candelaria, the historical center where the streets feel more “real Bogotá” than tourist-only zones, and then steadily moving you toward Zona T (Calle 85)—the area packed with bigger clubs and louder music.
The logic is simple: you begin earlier with structured fun, then transition into peak party time. You’re not wandering around hunting for lines or guessing which venue is worth it. Instead, the night is planned like a playlist: warm-up first, then the heavy hitters.
You also get the practical benefit of a group flow. The tour ends in Zona T (around Ac. 85 #14-5, Chapinero) where you’ll find most of the remaining nightlife. That means you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere when you decide whether to keep going.

The 9pm Warm-Up at HiPinto Social Experience (Where Everyone Starts Talking)

The tour kicks off at HiPinto Social Experience Nightlife on Cl. 12b Bis #1-20. The vibe here is “arrive and join,” not “stand around and wait.” You start at 9:00pm with drinking games and a social atmosphere before the disco-bus arrives.
This is the part I’d call the real glue of the night. You’re doing games like beer pong, flipcup, tik tak shot, and others such as mushroom, rage cup, and blowing (plus the game called b*tch cup). Even if you’re not a hardcore party person, it’s a low-effort way to talk to others and get your bearings fast in Bogotá.
Why it matters: clubs can be intimidating if you walk in alone. Starting with a group plus guided games makes it much easier to feel like you belong. This is the moment where solo travelers tend to mix in quickly—and even if you came with friends, you’ll still meet plenty of new people.
The 9:30pm Chiva Rumbera Disco-Bus Ride (Yes, It’s Actually Part of the Fun)
At 9:30pm, the group is picked up for the Chiva Rumbera, a traditional Colombian disco-bus. The key detail is that it’s designed for partying inside a vehicle in motion, with rules that support dancing and drinking while the bus moves.
One big reason this works well on a party crawl: it’s a moving “between stops” moment. Instead of traveling and losing energy, you keep the momentum. Everyone’s already hyped from the rooftop games, and the bus turns that excitement into a group singalong.
With the right package, there’s open bar on the Chiva (rum and vodka are specifically mentioned). If you’re going for max value, this is one of the most important parts to confirm at booking—because the bus ride is where your drinking-game energy continues, but it can also become the easiest place to lose track of what you’ve paid for.
Also, timing helps: you ride the bus from the old center toward Zona T, then it drops you right where you want to be for peak club hours.
The Club Stretch in Zona T: Federal, Mad Radio, Presea, Kyoto, and Fabuloso
Once the night reaches Zona T, the tour shifts into full club mode. Around 10:00pm, you go into some of Bogotá’s best nightlife venues, including well-known spots like:
- Federal Rooftop
- Mad Radio
- Presea
- El Fabuloso Rooftop
- Kyoto
In practical terms, this is a good match for people who want a single-night “variety pack.” You’re not stuck in one club all night with the same crowd and the same music. You get different sounds and different room energy—especially because these are mostly rooftop or higher-energy venues where the party atmosphere changes fast.
The itinerary also gives you a sensible progression. The crawl keeps moving so you don’t get stuck waiting in lines alone or missing your chance to get in. And because the focus is Zona T, you’re always in the thick of the action.
One drawback to keep in mind: if you’re the type who prefers one perfect place over hopping around, the “move on” schedule may feel a bit fast. This is a high-energy crawl by design. Bring your patience, and don’t plan on doing deep conversations between clubs.
After 3am: The Real Reason to Do This Crawl (Yakuza Runs Late)
The tour doesn’t stop at midnight or 1am. At around 3:00am, it takes you to the after-afterparty option—an extra-long nightlife segment that can run until 6am or more, depending on the night.
The specific late-night venue mentioned is Yakuza. It opens at 3:00am and closes at 10:00am. That’s a very Bogotá kind of schedule: you’re not just doing a quick late drink; you’re picking up your night again well into the sunrise hours.
If you want to know whether you’ll actually feel the benefit of the crawl, this afterparty stop is the answer. Many people can handle a club run for a couple hours. Fewer people want to stay out through the “morning start” phase. This tour gives you the option to do it without planning anything.
Price and Logistics: How to Get Value From the $5 Base
The headline price is $5 per person, and you’ll also see that some packages include “all included” pricing options.
Here’s the value reality: the $5 base covers certain parts like the initial meeting point cover, while the full experience—meaning discobus + open bar + club admissions—usually requires an additional upgrade. The data you have shows multiple pricing routes, including:
- All-in options described around $29–$34 depending on the version (open bar and club entries included in those packages)
- Paying per stop where club admissions can be around $7 each (for venues listed), and Chiva-only admission can be priced separately
So how should you decide?
If you want maximum ease
Pick the option that includes club entrances and open bar, especially because the Chiva ride and the club covers are exactly the items that turn a “cheap” ticket into a more expensive night once you add them one by one.
If you want flexibility (and you drink lightly)
The lower base can work, but you need to be alert about what you still owe at each stop. Also, note that alcoholic beverages are not automatically included unless your package specifically covers them.
One more practical note: this tour uses a mobile ticket, which is convenient, and it has a maximum group size of 50 travelers. That’s big enough to feel lively, small enough that you’re not totally swallowed by a crowd.
What This Tour Feels Like in Real Life (The Social Factor)
This crawl is built around one thing: people. Not just “good vibes,” but actual structure that makes meeting people easy.
At the start you’re doing games with everyone. On the bus you’re together again, singing, dancing, and keeping the group energy alive while moving through the city. Then the club hopping keeps the crowd fresh instead of letting you sink into boredom.
If you’re a solo traveler, this is the kind of evening that makes it easier to stop thinking and start having fun. Several guests highlight that the hosts—like Mao (and also names tied to the hosting team such as Maria are mentioned)—actively manage the group so you don’t feel lost.
The tone is upbeat and party-first. If you want quiet sightseeing, this isn’t that night. If you want Bogotá nightlife with minimal friction, it’s a strong fit.
Small Downsides to Know Before You Commit
I’d flag two main considerations.
First: you’re drinking and partying through multiple venues. Even with open bar options, you still need to manage your pace. If you’re sensitive to alcohol or you don’t usually party hard, consider spacing drinks, eating earlier, and slowing down if you need it.
Second: the schedule moves. Between rooftop games, bus ride timing, and the club circuit, there isn’t much buffer. If you show up late, you can miss key parts of the flow.
Also, check your expectations around inclusions. The experience is marketed as a full party crawl, but the exact “all included” coverage can vary by package. Confirm what’s included in your ticket before you arrive, so you’re not surprised by club admission fees.
Practical Tips (So Your Night Doesn’t Get Messy)
- Eat before you go. Even if you’re doing rooftop drinks and games, your body will thank you later—especially around 1–3am.
- Bring a phone strap or a secure pocket. You’ll be dancing and moving between places, plus there’s a bus ride where things can get hectic.
- Plan for Zona T walking. The tour focuses on Calle 85 and keeps you near nightlife venues, but you’ll still move between entry areas.
- If you’re upgrading, prioritize open bar + club entrances. Those are the parts that protect the value of the crawl.
- If you want the afterparty, be ready for a long morning. Yakuza runs until 10am, which is awesome if that’s your thing—and brutal if you’re not.
Should You Book This Bogotá Party Crawl?
Book it if you want a guided, high-energy night out that takes you from La Candelaria to Zona T, includes a Chiva Rumbera disco-bus, hits multiple major clubs, and still gives you an option to party into the late morning at Yakuza.
Skip or rethink it if you prefer one calm venue, a late start, or a nightlife plan without alcohol-centered timing. Also, if you’re budget-sensitive, treat “all included” as something to verify, not something to assume.
For most people doing their first trip to Bogotá—and especially for solo travelers—this is a straightforward way to get into the city’s nightclub rhythm without figuring out the logistics yourself.
