Bogota

Well, it´s hard to believe the time has already arrived, but we are at the last stop on the trip. After leaving Ushuaia and the end of the world we headed straight back to Buenos Aires and spent a few days there just relaxing and taking in the few things we missed on the first pass. A trip to “La Bombonera” (the Boca Juniors football stadium), some more tango, and of course lots more “parrilla”. It ended up being a nice way to say goodbye to one of our favorite places in South America before we flew up to Bogota.

Before arriving in Bogota we weren´t exactly sure what to think. Sadly, there is so much negative press about Colombia and it´s security that we were still a little weary, yet on the other hand we had heard nothing but rave reviews from other travellers. Over the past four days we´ve had a good chance to see Bogota and it has easily been one of our favorite places. The city is beautifully situated up in the mountains, it´s modern and lively while still retaining some beautiful colonial style neighborhoods, and the people are wonderful. We´ve also been pleasantly surprised that the security seems a non-issue and we´ve felt very safe walking around, even at night. So here´s the last few pics of the trip, from Bogota …

From here the only thing left is to fly home =(
