The Gold Museum, colourful La Candelaria, and the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral — Bogotá surprises every visitor.
Bogotá is one of South America's great cities and one of the fastest-developing — a capital at 2,600 metres in the Andes where the world-class Gold Museum, La Candelaria's colourful old town, and the Monserrate hilltop church all impress. The Salt Cathedral at Zipaquirá and Bogotá's thriving restaurant scene are unmissable.
