Bogota Travel Guide
Colombia
Bogotá is Colombia’s capital and largest city, with a population of 11,507,960. It sits inland in the Andes, so its climate is cooler and milder than Colombia’s lowland tropical regions.
Most international visitors arrive through El Dorado International Airport (BOG), the airport serving the city. Bogotá is not a beach destination, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres.
