Introduction to Bogota

With a population of around 8M, Bogotá is the largest city in Colombia and is a thriving metropolis rivaling New York and Paris. Bogotá is the also the capital city of Colombia and it's official name is Bogotá, D.C. where the D.C. stands for "Distrito Capital", which means "Capital District". One fact about Bogotá's that is always surprising to most tourist is that it the third-highest major city in the world after La Paz and Quito. At a mile and a half high, the weather is mild to cool in the evenings, so check the local weather before visiting!

Not only Bogotá the largest city in terms of population, but it is also the largest in terms of land area. But luckily for you, 3 of the most interesting areas of the city are all close by and are either within walking distance or a short taxi ride from your hotel!

Similar to the demographics of Colombia as a whole, the vast bulk of the city's population are mestizo in origin (those of mixed Indigenous and Spanish descent). The Women of Bogota are referred to as Cochana's, and are typically more professional, educated and worldly then the women in some of the smaller cities.

When you arrive on Friday, you will be given some time to check in and freshen up at your hotel. Later that evening you will be taken out on the town to visit some local hot spots. These hot spots have interesting names such as the “Pink Area”, “T Zone”, “G Zone” and “93 Park”. They provide plenty of choices of sophisticated restaurants, bars and night clubs for you to mingle, dance and start your trip off on the right foot! Since we don’t want you to wait in line and waste valuable time, reservations have been made at some of the VIP areas. Local women will either join you on this excursion, or will be waiting at the VIP area's.

The following day you will be given the opportunity to stretch your legs and to walk the streets of the historic district and the main plaza of Bogotá. The main plaza is home to city hall, justice hall, the capitol and the Nariño Palace, Colombia’s presidential house. We have provided current information and some valuable links if you would like to learn about Colombian Politics prior to your trip. Following the main plaza is a trip to the world famous Botero and Gold museums. Lunch will be at the M Zone (la Macarena), a gourmet area of Bogota full of many small, bohemian and family owned restaurants. That evening you will be taken to Usaquen, a “small town” inside the big city with a variety of choices for coffee, beer and cocktails.

The evening will end at Andres Carne De Res a world famous restaurant that transforms itself into Colombia's most popular night club. It will be full of beautiful people, excellent Latin music, huge cocktails and world class food. It is uniquely decorated with Colombian artifacts and is a tourist destination by itself. Time magazine and Newsweek have dedicated whole pages to this restaurant and it is considered one of South Americas best night clubs.

On Monday you will be able to relax on your drive out to the salt cathedral of Zipaquira. Zipaquira was originally used by Colombian Indians thousands of years ago to obtain salt. After the introduction in the 19th century of modern salt excavation techniques many tunnels and chambers were left behind. These huge spaces have been transformed into the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira! It is truly a man made wonder, an architectural and engineering masterpiece. Inside the mine you will see huge crosses and a fully equipped cathedral, all made out of salt rock.

On Tuesday you will visit “La Calera”, a beautiful site where you will find a breathtaking panoramic of Bogota. Following La Calera will be horseback riding in a very Romantic environment. Tuesdays excursion will finish with a glass of hot wine in a restaurant with the scenic view of Bogota.
