Welcome to
Bogotá
Colombia
Bogotá is one of South America's most underrated capitals — a high-altitude city of 8 million people at 2,600 metres above sea level that has transformed from dangerous neglect into a thriving cultural and culinary powerhouse. The La Candelaria historic district is full of colonial architecture, street art, and the world-class Gold Museum, which holds the largest collection of pre-Hispanic gold in the world. On Sundays, the city shuts its main roads to cars and opens them to cyclists and pedestrians in the Ciclovía — one of the world's greatest urban public events — while the restaurants of Zona Rosa and Usaquén represent some of the best dining in Latin America.
