Close to Bogotá:

Go to Andrés Carne de Res in CHÍA, must ask for the chicharrones, patacones con todo y lomo de res con un mandarino con vodka. Best to arrive around noon since it´s approximately 40 mins from Bogotá, stay for lunch and spend the rest of the day sipping some guaro.

Shopping:
Andino, Atlantis and Retiro – the three best shopping centers in town –  all in the same proximity and the area is safe to walk around

Tips:

1. Do not ask for a taxi randomly on the street. Go for UBER or ask for the hotel to request one.
2. Do not take your cell phone out in public (in the street) to speak, text, whatever, not safe.
3. When ordering the check they will ask if you want to add service, say yes and you will pay 10%, no need to leave any additional tips.
4. Shopping is somewhat expensive so you might want to spend your cash shopping elsewhere, don´t plan on shopping for this trip…only if looking for Emeralds.
5. Bogotá is 9000 feet above sea level. The nights are cold! Even though you are on the equator, you can wear a sweater or put on your business suit and never feel uncomfortable.
