About Bogota
Bogotá, also known as “The Athens of South America” due to its large number of museums, theaters, libraries, and cultural activities, is the capital of Colombia and the department of Cundinamarca. It is also notable for being a modern metropolis that serves as the country’s financial hub. Due to its geography—high plains at more than 2,400 meters above sea level—Bogotá is considered the third-highest city in South America (after La Paz and Quito).
Its history dates back to pre-colonial times, when the Muisca and various indigenous tribes ruled the territory until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. Although there is no official record of the city’s founding, August 6, 1538, is considered its approximate date of establishment. During your visit to Bogotá, you’ll enjoy a historical tour through streets that blend modernity with colonial architecture. Must-see sites include the Gold Museum, the National Observatory, the Colpatria Tower, and the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden. If you want to “travel back in time,” head to the historic La Candelaria neighborhood, whose narrow streets and grand mansions date back to the colonial era and retain their distinctive architectural style. In Bogotá, you can also sample the best of Colombian and international cuisine at its many restaurants. Typical dishes to keep in mind during your visit include ajiaco santafereño and mazamorra chiquita. Culturally, Bogotá stands out as a hub of culture, hosting events such as the Bogotá International Book Fair and the Festivales al Parque, which attract large crowds of both local and international visitors. We hope you enjoy your historical and cultural adventure in Bogotá.
