Andes
Bogotá
2,600 meters closer to the stars, and the gateway to everything.
Bogotá is where most trips to Colombia begin, and it deserves more than a layover. The capital sits at 2,600 meters in the Andes, cool and grey and electric, with world-class museums, one of Latin America's best street-art scenes, and a restaurant scene that surprises everyone who writes the city off.
Explore La Candelaria, the historic center, ride the funicular up Monserrate for the view over the endless city, and eat your way through Chapinero and Usaquén. It is also the hub flight for nearly everywhere else in the country.
