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
- Transport tips
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Bogotá?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
