Buildings, stores, malls, boutiques and even the traffic lights are having a new face in some sectors of Lima, globalization and Free Trade Agreements are giving to this part of Latino America an unique and new chance to stand up next to the biggest. Even if for the moment this is the only city where you can see the big changes in this country, the others cities are just coming behind.

If you are like me, after seeing this pictures you will be thinking on going there to see this beautiful city and life style, because every city is different and Lima is becoming different every year so why don’t try it now.

The person behind the lens is Jano, he tries to capture every single detail and word coming from the objects, people or nature this beautiful country can provide. Everything he can translate from this city, who screams that is floating with hundreds of years of history over it shoulders, but starting again in the last years.

Besides that some pictures are just beautiful they are better if you take a look in real size so don’t hesitate to click on the images to see the original version or if you want to know more about Jano just go and see his portfolio or his Flickr, there are more interesting pictures there.

My City III

Thanks to Jano for this awesome collection of pictures and to shows the new and beautiful city of Lima, with all the great things it has to offer, though of the talented people they have in Peru.

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
