35 days in Bogota Itinerary

Colombia's heart and soul, Bogota has earned the nickname "Athens of South America" thanks to its abundance of universities, libraries, and lower-level schools.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Mina de Sal de Nemocon and Suesca Rocks. Step out of the city life by going to Parque Natural Chicaque and Alameda de Quebrada Vieja. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Bogota: Zipaquira (Catedral Diocesana, Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira, &more), Parque Aventura la Chorrera (in Choachi) and Laguna de Guatavita (in Tierra Negra). Make the 27th (Wed) a memorable day with Suesca Outdoor Experience. Pack the 7th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Parque Jaime Duque. There's lots more to do: see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour, make a trip to Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo, pause for some serene contemplation at Iglesia Basilica del Senor de Monserrate, and explore the activities along Embalse del Neusa.
