Get to know Bogota

Amid the cool heights of the Colombian Andes, this gargantuan urban savanna bristles with the heterogeneity of humanity, filling every inch of its tousled infrastructure as more people situate themselves within localities packed with personality, from La Candelaria's harlequin streets to the impressive buildings bordering Plaza Bolívar. Bogota's ebullient energy outshines its criminal past, bedazzled with shimmering emeralds and gold artefacts, while you savour world-renowned coffee, tamales and ajiaco soup.
