Destionation: Bogotá / Colombia

Intercultural Impressions: 

Bogotá / Colombia

My Latin America trip in January 2014 started in Bogotá - I had never been to Colombia before and I was destined to wipe this white spot off my world map. 

And the city of 8 million people, located at 2.600 m in the South American Andes, did not let me down: an exciting mix old and new, lively and quite, friendly and energetic. 

Here are some of my impressions - enjoy and share!

Colombia's answer to Starbucks: Juan Valdez Café

Of course - Colombian national dish

Colonial heritage in wonderful colors

Old town district

Lovely courtyard houses

Some architectural styles appear different

View towards Montserrat mountain

Typical Fernando Botero: Monalisa

I just love this picture!

So many to chose from...

Impressive street art grafitti

Colombia ES COLOR !!!

 

"Use me" - a labelled waste bin

Art at Museo del Oro

Pre-Colombian gold treasures

The modern part of town

Engaged game of street chess

The old bull fight arena

The mix of old and new

Happy coffee drinking in Bogotá !

Bogotá was a great start into my Latin America trip -- and it has made me so curious about all the other treasures Colombia has to offer... I will be back soon, for sure!
