16 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.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Laguna de Guatavita and Bioparque La Reserva. Venture out of the city with trips to Capilla Valvanera (in Chia), Embalse del Muna (in Sibate) and Parque Jaime Duque (in Tocancipa). Spend the 8th (Wed) exploring nature at Chingaza National Park. And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Gold Museum (Museo del Oro), steep yourself in history at Bolivar plaza, have some family-friendly fun at Divercity, and let the kids burn off some steam at Parque El Lago.
