Bogota

Bogotá, Colombia’s high-altitude capital, offers a mix of colonial history and urban culture, with key sights including the Gold Museum, Monserrate hill, and the historic La Candelaria district. The local currency is the Colombian peso (COP), and prices are generally affordable for most travellers. Credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, though cash is useful for smaller purchases. Due to its elevation, the weather is mild year-round, with daytime temperatures around 18–20°C and cooler nights, and rain is common, especially from April to May and October to November.
