Most flights to Colombia will take you through Bogota. This was the 2nd time I’ve been to Bogota, and I like the city, but I may skip it next time. But, if you’re there, here’s what I recommend to check out:
La Candelaria - just walk around aimlessly. It’s fun
Monseratte - take the cable car ride up to the chapel, and hope for a cloudless day so you can see all of Bogota
eat/drink at Andres - whether at the original site in Chia or at the new one right in Bogota, it’s such a fun experience
dine at Leo Cocina y Cava. The chef/owner, Leonor Espinosa, puts Colombian food on the map. The ingredients are staples of Colombian food but used in very interesting ways. We had snails, octopus, lobster, and beef medallions. There was sauce made from corozo, and foam made out of… foam? We asked the kitchen to make us their favorite dishes, and they’ve now become ours.
