Bogotá - Experience South America's way of life

Bogotá is the capital of Colombia. The city hosts various interesting festivals and boasts a cheap public transport network. A popular destination outside of Bogotá is the Tequendama waterfall, which can be visited all year round. Due to the high altitude, temperatures rarely climb above 23 degrees Celsius. The drier months are from December to March and July to August.

In March or April the "Semana Santa" takes place at Easter and in July or August the important music festival "Rock al Parque" is held in the city. In addition, at the beginning of August, the "Festival de Verano" can be visited. This is a huge summer festival that offers, among other things, cultural and sports activities. For the annual anniversary of the city's founding on August 5 and 6, the "Carnaval de Bogotá" is held.

US tourists do not need a visa to enter the country for a planned stay of maximum 90 days. It should be noted that there is a risk of robbery in the city and that violence is generally high. No resistance should be offered in the event of a robbery.
