This sounds great, would you mind sharing the highlights of your itinerary, and your lodging? Did you rent a car?[/quote]

I am not the OP you are asking, but I have stayed in Bogota many times and can share my itinerary. I like Hotel Vilar America in Chapinero. It's the business district and is close to nightlife/restaurant district Zona T, so it's quiet. The hotel is a great value, you get apartment style rooms for good prices. There are a wide variety of hotels so if you want upscale (JW Marriott, Four Seasons), you can have it in this part of Chapinero.

I also enjoy the neighborhoods around Parque de la 93 and Parque El Virrey. Most of north Bogota is nice.

There's a great brewery chain called El Mono Bandito that has great beer. Also good food. The one near Hotel Vilar America has a cool old house vibe as it is indeed a bar inside what appears to be a big old house. The location near Parque de la 93 is largely outdoors and is an awesome place to be when the weather is nice.

I would never rent a car in Bogota, even if I could speak Spanish. Just take cabs and ubers and the BRT, which is basically 60 cents per ride.[/quote]
