Museo del Oro
It holds the largest collection of pre-Hispanic goldwork in the world: Muisca, Quimbaya, Calima and Tairona pieces that explain the country long before the Conquest.
Cundinamarca
Bogotá
At 2,640 meters above sea level, Bogotá wakes cold and closes the day in the light of the páramo, the high Andean moorland. It does not give itself away easily: it asks to be walked in layers, from the colonial grid of La Candelaria to the brick houses of Chapinero, now home to some of the finest kitchens on the continent.
Why go
What makes this destination unique
Bogotá does not compete with the Caribbean or with the Coffee Region: it competes with the great capitals. This is the city where Colombia keeps its memory — the greatest holding of pre-Hispanic goldwork in the world — and where its contemporary cooking is being written, with El Chato crowned best restaurant in Latin America in 2025. It is altitude, museums, brick and savanna.
- When to goDecember to March and July to August are the driest months; April, May, October and November the wettest. Bogotá hovers between 9 and 20 degrees all year round: always pack a coat.
- Getting thereEl Dorado (BOG) receives direct flights from Madrid, Paris, London, Miami and New York. It lies twelve kilometers from the center; the private transfer takes between thirty and sixty minutes.
What to see
What you should not miss
Cerro de Monserrate
The sanctuary that crowns the city at 3,152 meters. Go up by funicular or cable car at dusk: the whole savanna unfolds beneath your feet.
La Candelaria and the Museo Botero
The colonial quarter: the Plaza de Bolívar, the Teatro Colón, steep streets of balconies. The Museo Botero is here, with work by the master and by Picasso and Dalí.
The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá
An hour and a half north, a temple carved 180 meters underground inside a salt mine. It impresses even the skeptical traveler.
La Ciclovía
Every Sunday and public holiday, from seven in the morning until two in the afternoon, the city closes more than 120 kilometers of road to cars.
Usaquén and its flea market
An old village swallowed by the city, with a square and low houses. On Sundays, craftspeople and antique dealers take over three blocks of the Carrera Sexta.
