TEJO TOUR IN MEDELLIN

What is Tejo? Tejo is a traditional Colombian game where players throw a heavy metal disc, known as a tejo, at a target to make it explode. The player throws the tejo at a wooden box filled with clay. At the center of the box are four triangle targets filled with gunpowder which explode on impact. The game of tejo is a popular past time for many Colombians across the country, but it is also recognized as Colombia's national sport, with hopes of one day having the sport of tejo included in the Olympics. The tejo tour in Medellin can be reserved for a group friends or private event.
