In my preparation for Colombia I had been listening to the Revolutions Podcast by Mike Duncan. A series that details the events that led to Latin America’s independence. Thanks to this podcast I knew that Bogota is of huge historical importance. And it’s a huge city. With over 10 million inhabitants it’s the biggest in Colombia

Restaurants in Colombia are very cheap. The only time you may encounter an exception to this rule is when you’re staying in a touristy area.

But with a little effort I was still able to get some amazing Colombian food at delicious prices
