Carrera 7 corredor cultural / paseo peatonal

This guide to Bogota's Carrera Septima pedestrian corridor, once colonial Bogota's very first street, follows a flute maker named Wilson Duran, who fled armed conflict in Sahagun, Cordoba with his family and rebuilt a life playing a fading coastal style on this stretch of pavement. It traces how the street itself was pedestrianized block by block and became a stage for chess players, mimes and musicians from across the country. Listen for the flute somewhere in the crowd as you walk the corridor.
