Food Scene
This place is really amazing and has a unique ambiance! It splits diners into Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. It is located in the heart of Bogota’s touristy Zona Rosa. Andrés is more than just a restaurant, as the night goes on you can also "rumbear" (party) and have a great time.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. As Colombian I think this is a pure representation of our gastronomic culture.
The proposal of this restaurant is to delight us with "Cazuelitas" of the best Colombian gastronomy. Cazuelitas de Ajico Bogotano, Cazuelita Cundiboyacense, & Cazuelita de Mondongo are examples of their menu. However, the most famous one is Cazuelita Arrieros, which is considered the symbol of the place.

Sightseeing
This is a must if you are in Bogota. Monserrate is a mountain that dominates the city center of Bogotá. It is a very easy and cheap way to have a great view of the city as well as learn more about Colombian culture. It is normally cold, but you can enjoy going up by taking the "telesferico" or the "funicular" (train).
