Perfect tour for my short stay in Bogota

A Great Intro to Bogota
The whole trip went seamless. Our guide Katerine rearranged the schedule to accommodate the unpredictable weather, ensuring we didn’t miss the outdoors stuff. The sights, local flavor, the history, the colors, the people were all vibrant.
