We’ve written about the Bogota Graffiti Tour before here on the Colombia Travel Blog but, as you can imagine, with the growth of tourism in Colombia, not to mention the fluid nature of urban art, the tour has developed a great deal since those halcyon days of 2012! Plus, we have a shiny new […]

Puedes encontrar la versión en español de este post aquí : https://seecolombia.travel/blog/2014/02/regresar-a-colombia/ I have been lucky enough to live and travel in many countries across the world. I spent 3 days in some, 6 weeks in others, and a year in a couple. I can honestly say however, that I have never left a country so […]
Botero, de son prénom, Fernando, es un artiste colombien, originaire de la ville de Medellín. Peut-être en avez-vous déjà entendu parlé, ou du moins vu certaines de ses œuvres, car on en trouve aussi hors Colombie, à Barcelone par exemple.

Dear Economist Intelligence Unit, I recently read with keen interest your liveability survey but was shocked and upset to find Bogota ranked as the worst Latin American capital city to live in. As a proud adopted rolo, I am well aware that I am perhaps sometimes a little bit biased and have previously even made […]
Abstract Despite the widely-held assumption that Bogotá has terrible weather, our results, which come mainly from our experience of a Bogota bicycle tour, demonstrate that there is a possibility for the contraction of erythema due to exposure to high levels of ultra violet light (sunburn).
