Has anyone been to Bogota recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.
