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.

Bring the kids along to Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) and Bolivar Square. Get out of town with these interesting Bogota side-trips: Laguna de Guatavita (in Tierra Negra), Parque Jaime Duque (in Tocancipa) and Capilla Valvanera (in Chia). Spend the 8th (Wed) exploring nature at Chingaza National Park. There's still lots to do: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Monserrate, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Basilica of Our Lord of Miracles of Buga, identify plant and animal life at Bioparque La Reserva, and examine the collection at Museo de la Moneda.

Plan my trip to Bogota with suggested itineraries provided by Inspirock.

If you are flying in from United Kingdom, the closest major aiport is El Dorado International Airport. In April, plan for daily highs up to 22°C, and evening lows to 11°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 19th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
