Has anyone been to Bogota recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Avoid Calle 22? Or is it fine?

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
