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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Avoid Chapinero? Or is it fine?

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
