Colombia
Bogotá
Bogotá is Colombia's high capital — a cable car up a mountain, a gold museum, and 2,640m of energy.
Bogotá is Colombia's sprawling, high-altitude capital — the gold museum (the best pre-Columbian gold in the Americas), the cable car up Monserrate, and the cobblestoned La Candelaria old town. It's cooler than the coast and edgier than Medellín; use the cable car, eat ajiaco, and ride the Sunday Ciclovía.
