Bogota (Columbia)
Bogota, Colombia’s capital city, is often overlooked when it comes to Colombia travel. It deserves a closer look.
It’s an urban sprawl that’s chaotic and clogged with traffic, but it is also a crucible for culture and cuisine at high altitude. Tours chart the transformation of the city from a graffiti-filled wild west into an incredible street art gallery.
The restaurants are equally colorful, with menus ranging from simple peasant food to gastronomy that is Michelin level. Then there’s coffee!
There are many day trips that can be taken to explore historic and modern treasures. The itinerary includes Lake Guatavita where the conquistadors plundered gold offerings from indigenous Muisca people or the magnificent subterranean Zipaquira Salt Cathedral. BN
