As 6th august is the 471 Birthday of Bogota, the city where I grew up and where I spent almost all my life (21 years), one of the most beautiful capitals of South America. I thought it would be fair to make a little homage to this lovely city so I started looking for excellent pictures of Bogota and here I put together more than 50 to your delight.
All the good places you can find there is awesome, the modern arhitecture use in its Universities, Museums, Libraries, Malls, Parks etc, make a great contrast with the classic downtown and its little an traditional houses, having also a great view where ever you look at, thanks to the mountains surrounding it you can even feel the nature and peaceful of a welcoming city.
I know that the first thing coming to your mind could be Pablo Escobar or Guerrilla and violence, all those kind of images you see on TV, but the true is really far from the violence country you can imagine, the cities in Colombia are not more dangerous than any other large city in North America or Europe, and visitors can expect an excellent welcome and genuine curiosity from its people.
Bogota is the capital city of Colombia, as well as the most populous city in the country, with 6,776,009 habitants (2005) is also the largest and its altitude (2,640 metres) makes it the third-highest major city in the world. With its many universities and libraries, Bogotá has become known as “The Athens of South America”. Take from Wikipedia
If this article maybe convince you to go in Colombia someday you can always check the Colombian embassy on your country or the site Colombia is passion where you can find the answer to all your questions.
So here I let you the 50+ Awesome Photos You Have Never Seen From Bogota – Colombia

Hey great to see so nice photos of our city. Great job pal.
Awesome collection! Feels like I’m touring around Bogota myself. I’ve never been to Bogota but the city seems so beautiful.
Oh btw I knew Bogota from a TV drama or what I know as ‘telenovela’ called ‘Betty La Fea’. It was aired on the local channel in my country when I was in junior high school. If I’m not mistaken the drama was taken in Bogota. ^^
Awesom pictures!!! I would really like to go and see this country on day. It’s looks fabuloso. I guess I’ll start saving my money right away. Can’t wait to see this in person.
@Robert Yes you should be there to enjoy it even more, and you don’t have to save too much, this kind of cities are not expensive at all.
@Oridusartic is really beautiful, and yes you are betty la fea was on Bogota and that soap opera “telenovela” is really famous all around the world they have made a lot of versions, “France, Germany, Arabia” but the most know is ugly betty.
@Yourmung thanks for the comment, that’s what it is.

In related news, Tiger always gives 110 percent. That is why he gave 100 percent to his wife and still had 10 percent left over for his alleged mistress.
In related news, Tiger Woods will play at The Masters. Every time he tees off the gallery will shout out an update on that traditional golf warning: “Whore”
