Bogota Guide 2026
Bogota is the capital and largest city of Colombia, on a high plateau in the Andes at more than 2,600 metres. Its cool, thin air, museums and colourful historic centre make it an important stop on South America tours.
What to see in Bogota
- Monserrate hill: a viewpoint east of the city, reached by cable car and funicular.
- La Candelaria: the historic centre of colourful houses and narrow streets.
- The Gold Museum: a museum of pre-Columbian gold work.
- The Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral: an underground church built inside a salt mine, north of the city.
When to go
Temperatures hardly change through the year: highs of 17 to 19 degrees and lows of 9 to 10. March and April are the wettest months, with 124 and 120 millimetres, and September is the driest with 40. It stays cool, so bring layers. Because of the altitude, take the first day slowly.
Getting there from Turkey
Bogota is part of MBD's South America tours, in days such as "Arrival in Bogota" and "Bogotá's historic centre". The tours run 9 to 27 nights, combine Bogota with countries such as Peru, Ecuador and Panama, and leave Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. Dates and prices are on the tour page.
Who it suits
People who enjoy city culture, museums and mountain views, and anyone who wants to begin South America in Colombia. Anyone with heart or breathing problems should ask a doctor about the altitude.
