Hosting City: Bogota, Colombia
Bogotá is the capital of and largest city in Colombia. It is a place of convergence
for people from all around the country and is therefore diverse and
multicultural. Within this city, the past and present come together.
The city is also very green thanks to its parks and
the hills that extend along its eastern boundary, dwarfed by their two highest
points, Monserrate and Guadalupe. The landscape that the
people of Bogotá enjoy
daily—the sea of green that makes up the Andes mountain range, rising up in
the east—would be nearly impossible to find in any other large city.
But Bogotá also
has the colors of modern buildings and authentic colonial roof tiles that are a
true historical treasure from the colonial era.
Thanks to this fusion of the past and present, Bogotá is an ideal location with
history, entertainment, delicious cuisine, culture, business, and much more.
Bogotá’s location in Colombia or where Bogotá is a
simple answer. The capital of
Colombia is located in one of the six regions of the country, the Andean Region, which is located
throughout the center of the Colombian territory. In the
Cundiboyacense plateau and on the savanna that bears its name at an altitude or
elevation of 2,600 meters above the sea level.
Bogotá is
the melting pot of Colombia.
Here, all the cultures from different regions of the country have a place, from
the cuisine of the Coffee Triangle to the exhilaration and joy of the
Caribbean, or the artisanal heritage of Boyacá and the Valle de Cauca Festival.
Bogotá brings together the best of Colombia, and for that reason, it should be
at the top your list of places to visit.
