Bogota Colombia: Enjoy An
Andes Vacation Experience by Gaizka Pujana
Whatever
your interest, you will find something to keep you entertained and busy
during your stay in Bogota. Here are some of the interesting sights you
do not want to miss.
The
Maloka Science Center is an interactive museum that is fun for all ages.
There are over 200 exhibits that teach about the universe, human bodies,
technology, Bogota city, and biodiversity. You can easily spend most of
the day here viewing exhibits, watching movies on an IMAX style screen,
watching your kids play in the child zone, and dining in the Internet cafe.
The
Bogota Planetarium is the largest in Latin America and uses celestial
dome projections that reproduce celestial phenomena. If you are an
astronomy buff, you will enjoy your visit here where you can attend
workshops and presentations in the domed theater.
Bogota
is also a great place to go shopping, especially if you like to shop for
jewelry. Bogota is the emerald trade center for Colombia and is well
known for its high quality emeralds and other jewels. Bogota is also well
known for its artistic bracelets and other goldsmith work. You could
easily spend all day moving from shop to shop looking at all the fine
jewelry on offer. You will also find many other handmade forms of artwork
and clothing of all kinds.
Bogota
is a popular destination for nature travelers as this area is part of
what is known as humid areas that are floodable regions of the Andes.
Because of this there is a variety of plants and wildlife to see here
that is unique to the area. There are over 70 species of birds and many
different kinds of plants including floating plants and herbs. Some of
these areas are open for public tours and hiking. The Eastern Hills area
is another must visit as once you arrive at the top you will enjoy
sweeping panoramic views and look down upon eucalyptus forests.
If you
enjoy visiting museums, then you will be happy in Bogota. Here you can
visit museums of history, art, architecture, medicine, geology and a
special museum just for children. Children will also enjoy a visit to
Mundo Aventura which is an amusement park where they can ride fun rides
and get up close with animals at the petting zoo. Another fun place is
Parque Jaime Duque which has a zoo, rides, and exhibits such as a replica
of the Taj Mahal. This park is also home to concerts and music events.
Bogota
is the largest city in Colombia with over seven million residents. It is
also a popular tourist destination for locals and international
travelers. There are many entertainment venues available to accommodate a
large population whether you are interested in dancing the night away,
fine dining, or hiking the nearby mountains. You are sure to find
something every member of your family would enjoy.
You
can plan a trip to Bogota easily when you book your accommodations
online. When you get your hotel online, you can judge how close it is to
the attractions where you want to spend most of your time. Plus you can
read reviews from others who have stayed in the Bogota hotels you are
