Transportation from the airport and around the city will be the Transmilenio (the red busses). This system is similar to the subway systems in NY. It is a great way to get everywhere in the city and very affordable at 1300 pesos- .55 cents per trip and we can buy a pass for the week. This will cost us approx. 10 dollars per person - equaling 70 dollars for the week.

There are many things to explore in and around Bogota Columbia. Here are a few things we would like to fit into our seven days there:
Bullfighting is a part of culture in Bogota . We are definetly going to experience this while on our trip.
One of the main things people think of when they hear Columbia is coffee. They offer a half day long coffee school where we will get hands on experience and some of the freshest coffe on the planet.
This is the Fenicular. It will take us to the top of Monserrate Hill. From there we will go on a hike to La Chorrera.
La Chorrera
Chorrera: Colombia's tallest waterfall
La Chorrera is Colombia’s tallest waterfall and for keen hikers
and adventurers, it’s well worth a visit. The journey itself is for the most
part on foot, and in total takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes. You’ll need to
have a lift arranged for you to navigate the journey through cloud forests to
the other side of Bogotá’s mountains, but once you’re there you begin a 45
minute trek to the first stop off point. Here you’ll find a helpfully located
restaurant where you can get a good meal for around $13000 pesos. Once you’re
sufficiently rested, you’ll take another half an hour to reach the waterfalls.
The views here are magnificent and you can even walk through the waterfalls to
discover what lies behind them. For the brave it’s also possible to swim but be
warned, it’s very cold! If you arrange the trip with See Colombia Travel, it’s
also possible to pre-order a delicious meal of local trout for your return, the
perfect end to a memorable hike.
A short distance outside of Bogota is a town called Zipaquira. This is where the Salt mines and cathedral are. This is a historical site exclusive to Columbia and a must see while there.
Along with finding amazing places to eat , these are some of the things we will experience while visiting Columbia.
