Parks & Nature

This is 1.5 blocks from our house. While I lived in Bogota, I would go to this park every morning to jog and do exercises. There are morning Tai Chi classes, weekend Yoga classes, and 4 kids playgrounds in the park.

This is every family's favorite park in Bogota. This park has a no dogs allowed policy, so it is extremely clean. The park has lots of playgrounds for kids, a museum, and an arts and krafts center. It is a place where groups of friends with kids tend to meetup on the weekends for long picnics and hangout sessions.

Owned by Mike - a good friend from San Francisco. He is a great chef. Say hello from Brian and try out his killer tacos. He marinates his meats for weeks and they are very tasty!

Sightseeing

Take the cable car or the gondola up to the top of the mountain for great views of the city. It is wonderful to do this for a sunset view to see the city during both the day and then watch as the lights come up at night in the city. Skip the restaurants and gift shops, though. A ticket up costs 17.000 pesos colombianos.
