Bogota

Bogota was cold!! What a contrast! The boots and blazer were back on. No more sweaty waterfall face! It was a nice city. Not mind blowing, but it had some pretty streets and nice buildings. Some of the streets were akin to Cartagena, but it had a grittier feel and some cool graffiti.


An incredible surprise though was found in the Plaza de Bolivar.....llamas!!! Random!! I've been desperate to see a llama in South America!



Not exactly in the wild....but woohoo!!!
I visited the gold museum which was really interesting. Some beautiful exhibits and great history to consolidate what I'd learnt about the indigenous people on the trek.




I've never seen so much gold before in one room!
After the semi final (priorities!) I took the cable car up to Monserrate. The views over the city were fantastic, and the church itself was very pretty.

It was a lovely end to my time in Colombia. It is a beautiful country, the people are so warm and friendly, its landscapes are incredible; I am so glad I came.
