Bogota Journals

Quote: In the movies and news, every time Bogotá is mentioned is about drugs, violence or bombs by the guerrilla. I spent two months and never felt unsafe or at risk.

Quote: A brief introduction to this New York of Colombia.

Quote: From Bogota's great heights to the llanas and rain forests below, Colombia has many adventures to offer. I had them anyway.

Quote: Surprised in the good way. My typical American perception was of a country whose economy relies on coffee and kidnappings. I found it beautiful.

Quote: I lived in Bogota for 11 years and I must share some good things about it:

Quote: Colombia, everything is very new so I look forward to traveling and experiencing as much as possible from Cartagena to Leticia, the capitol of the Amazons.

Quote: Bogota is more than you expect--nice people, nice food, nice weather... I really encourage you to visit. Lots of friends from around the world (Korea, USA, UK, France, Israel) have been here, and they really have enjoyed themselves!

Quote: Bogotá is a city in continuous expansion. It is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas, not only in Colombia, but also in South America. Its almost six million inhabitants include a multitude of immigrants from all over the world.

Quote: With a $400 voucher on TACA Airlines to burn, my girlfriend and I took a brief trip up to Bogotá, Colombia from our base in Lima, Peru. Despite the crazy weather and accidentally spending a night in a whorehouse, we were stunned by this example of urban planning done right.

Quote: Bogota is a mixture of Latin America and Europe with a mild climate and not as unsecure as everyone else thinks
