Visited Bogota for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $93/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
