“About Bogotá,
Modern skyscrapers, shopping centers, and cultural venues contrasted with open-air markets and shanty villages characterize Bogotá, the capital of Colombia . It was in Laguna de Guatavita, just northeast of the city, that the El Dorado myth was born, but most modern visitors stick to treasures in neighborhoods like Plaza Bolivar, Zona Rosa, or La Candelaria, the oldest of the three. Each area offers visitors a chance to see colonial architecture like the churches of Santa Clara and San Ignacio. The Museo del Oro ( Gold Museum ) is also a prime attraction, displaying emerald jewelry, pre-Colombian artifacts, and over 30,000 pieces of gold work. For a more holistic view of the city and its lush countryside, head up to Montserrate, which sits just alongside the city and rises above it 2,000 feet. The northern part of the city offers the best hotels and restaurants, and since Bogotá is the cultural capital of Colombia , there are plenty of before- and after-dinner activities. Fundación Teatro Nacional and Teatro La Candelaria are the best theaters and stage internationally renowned plays and shows. If it’s festive nightlife you crave, then put on your dancing shoes and join the crowds in the Zona Rosa and La Calera areas of town—both offer a variety of bars and clubs that stay lively until sunrise. Visitors desiring entertainment of a more exotic variety make it a point to visit Plaza Santa Maria on the weekends to catch a bullfight. Mixing modern and pre-colonial sensations, Bogotá is the perfect city for a South American adventure.”
