Chicago to Bogota, Colombia from $304

🌍 About bogota

Bogotá sits at 2,640m, high enough that you'll feel the thin air on the climb to Monserrate, the church-topped peak reached by funicular or cable car for the best view over the city. The historic core is La Candelaria: colonial streets, the Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) with its pre-Hispanic metalwork, and student cafés. Order ajiaco santafereño — a chicken-and-potato soup made with three native potato varieties and guascas, a local herb, finished tableside with capers, cream, and corn on the cob. It's a Bogotá dish, not a national one. Come December–March or July–August, the dry, cool stretches (days around 14–19°C, jacket weather year-round). Skip April–May and October–November, the two rainy seasons.
