(Translated by Google) Fresh and delicious food at a good price. The place is nice (Original) Comida fresca y deliciosa a buen precio. El lugar es agradable

(Translated by Google) Very good atmosphere, the place looks clean, tidy and very well decorated, the food was a little salty, the executive one costs 25k and is a little expensive, the regular one costs 12.5k and is more recommended. (Original) Muy buen ambiente, el lugar se ve limpio, ordenado y muy bien decorado, la comida estuvo un poco salada el ejecutivo cuesta 25k y esta un poco costoso, el corriente 12.5k y es más recomendable.

(Translated by Google) During the day it is a normal restaurant, at night it is a pleasant rumbiadero, crossover music too perreo for my taste, but the rest of the customers were partial to the fact that they loved the mixes. (Original) En el día es un restaurante normal, en la noche es un rumbiadero agradable, musica crossover demasiado perreo para mi gusto, pero al resto de los clientes parcial que les encantaban las mezclas.

(Translated by Google) Excellent (Original) Exelente

Is a Good place whit cafes amd restaurants around. You can find different activities, just check there what is the activities for the day.

It is a great place to visit with regular events of art, culture, gastronomy, among others, all framed in the captivating architecture of Rogelio Salmona.

Highly recommend, beautiful and beautiful views

The arhitecture is good but became a bit old. The place itself offers many atractions like a huge interesting bookstore (just keep in mind english books are not to be found there). But the most interesting feature of the place is it's location: in the heart of La Candelaria neighbourhood, oldest and most boheme neighbourhood of Bogotà. You can't possibl go wrong going here, meteres away you could find and discover different wonders of the city: botero museum, amizing old streets, central plaza and cathedral and so on

It is a place with a unique architecture. There they are asked to take excellent photos and you can use the space to have a coffee and read a book. The site has a store where you can buy books of different subjects, next to Juan Valdez and where you can buy a good coffee.

Beautiful place with no much to do as a tourist.

Gabriel García Márquez was born on 6 March 1927[5] in Aracataca, Colombia, to Gabriel Eligio García and Luisa Santiaga Márquez Iguarán.[6] Soon after García Márquez was born, his father became a pharmacist and moved, with his wife, to Barranquilla, leaving young Gabriel in Aracataca.[7] He was raised by his maternal grandparents, Doña Tranquilina Iguarán and Colonel Nicolás Ricardo Márquez Mejía.[8] In December 1936, his father took him and his brother to Sincé, while in March 1937, his grandfather died; the family then moved first (back) to Barranquilla and then on to Sucre, where his father started up a pharmacy.[9] When his parents fell in love, their relationship met with resistance from Luisa Santiaga Márquez's father, the Colonel. Gabriel Eligio García was not the man the Colonel had envisioned winning the heart of his daughter: he (Gabriel Eligio) was a Conservative, and had the reputation of being a womanizer.[10][11] Gabriel Eligio wooed Luisa with violin serenades, love poems, countless letters, and even telephone messages after her father sent her away with the intention of separating the young couple. Her parents tried everything to get rid of the man, but he kept coming back, and it was obvious their daughter was committed to him.[10] Her family finally capitulated and gave her permission to marry him[12][13] (The tragicomic story of their courtship would later be adapted and recast as Love in the Time of Cholera.[11][14]) Since García Márquez's parents were more or less strangers to him for the first few years of his life,[15] his grandparents influenced his early development very strongly.[16][17] His grandfather, whom he called "Papalelo",[16] was a Liberal veteran of the Thousand Days War.[18] The Colonel was considered a hero by Colombian Liberals and was highly respected.[19] He was well known for his refusal to remain silent about the banana massacres that took place the year after García Márquez was born.[20] The Colonel, whom García Márquez described as his "umbilical cord with history and reality,"[21] was also an excellent storyteller.[22] He taught García Márquez lessons from the dictionary, took him to the circus each year, and was the first to introduce his grandson to ice—a "miracle" found at the United Fruit Company store.[23] He would also occasionally tell his young grandson "You can't imagine how much a dead man weighs",[24][25] reminding him that there was no greater burden than to have killed a man, a lesson that García Márquez would later integrate into his novels.

It’s a moving place for our memory as a country. Not only the violence and war history, but the courage and hope of our people. A great opportunity to avoid the oblivion. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place. Very quiet, well kept, clean bathrooms and at the entrance we had some pastelitos and café at Pâtisserie Francaise. You will have to opportunity to watch a documentary about Ayahuasca o yagé and then upstair there is a very touching exposition of Jesus Abad Colorado and his photo documentation of a very hurtful situation with the war among Colombian citizens. If you happens to be in Bogotá, don't miss this opportunity. The entrance is free.

Excellent! Considering we are in a country where 1% of the population owns 40% of the so called wealth (including the media) we need more leftist museums. We’re in a terrible time where the rich people are getting richer and wages are stagnating. This is try in Australia too. Workers of the world unite!

This small cloister has a quaint interior courtyard with rustic garden. It houses temporary art exhibits... We really enjoyed the life sized trees made of old paper like telephone books.

Beautiful building and interesting exhibition.

Touching photographic journey of the guerilla and paramilitary wars. It gives a great impression of the devastation that the countless innocent civilians had to endure. A must see if you want to understand and experience the conflict.

A beautiful historic place with Spanish colonial stylle. At the moment of my visit there was the photography exposition "El testigo," an extraordinary account of the victims of the civil war in Colombia and the Peace Accord.

(Translated by Google) Very good attention. The food is very good. Variety, affordable prices. Recommended 100% (Original) Muy buena atención. La comida buenísima. Variedad, precios accesibles. Recomendado 100%

(Translated by Google) We went on Holy Thursday, with few diners. The prices are quite high (standard size juices from 11.2k onwards) and, in relation to the dishes, the cost does not do justice to what is delivered. We ordered a chicken that claimed to come stuffed with some vegetables and paprika sauce. When the plate arrived, the meat was cut into medium pieces, only 2 of which had the filling and the sauce was served on the edge of the plate; The meat itself had little flavor, so salt had to be added. The Neapolitan chicken that was ordered also had to be salted. The casserole that was ordered arrived extremely salty and watery; Fortunately they changed it and both the flavor and thickness improved. On the other hand, the service took a long time, considering that we were the only ones in the restaurant. (Original) Fuimos el jueves santo, con pocos comensales. Los precios son bastante altos (jugos de tamaño estándar de 11,2k en adelante) y, en relación con los platos, no el costo no hace justicia a lo que se entrega. Pedimos un pollo que decía venir relleno con algunos vegetales y salsa de paprika. Al llegar el plato, la carne estaba cortada en trozos medianos, de los cuales sólo 2 tenían el relleno y la salsa estaba servida al borde del plato; la carne como tal tenía poco sabor, por lo que hubo que echarle sal. El pollo napolitano que se pidió, también hubo que echarle sal. La cazuela que se pidió llegó sumamente salada y aguada; afortunadamente la cambiaron y mejoró tanto el sabor como el espesor. Por otro lado, el servicio se demoró bastante, considerando que éramos los únicos en el restaurante.

(Translated by Google) It is a good restaurant, the pastas have a significant presence on the menu. The tomato cream is delicious, however, those who enjoy it highlighting the acidity will enjoy it in all its splendor. The flavors of the Carbonara are balanced. The seafood pasta with lobster reduction is intense at first but then the flavor becomes flat and the acidity of the tomato in the sauce makes the flavors of the seafood attenuate, and the mouth is saturated with flavor, even the soft palate is left affected the tone of the flavor of the sauce, losing all the power of the sea flavor. (Original) Es un buen restaurante las pastas tienen presencia significativa en el menú. La crema de tómate es deliciosa, sin embargo para los que disfrutan de que resalte la acidez la disfrutarán en todo su esplendor. Los sabores del Carbonara es balanceado. La pasta marinera con reducción de langosta es intensa al principio pero luego el sabor se vuelve plana y la acidez del tómate en la salsa hace que los sabores de los mariscos se atenúen, y que se sature la boca de sabor, incluso el paladar blando queda afectado del tono del sabor de la salsa, perdiéndose toda la potencia del sabor a mar.

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant, great variety of dishes and good service. Salmon is their best dish and mixed bites. (Original) Excelente restaurante, gran variedad de platos y buen servicio. El salmón es su mejor plato y la picada mixta.

(Translated by Google) Delicious prawn starter if you come you have to try it. The prices are very good. The food has great flavor and the waiters' attention is very good. (Original) Deliciosa la entrada de langostinos si vienes tienes que probarla. Los precios son muy buenos. La comida con un gran sabor y la atención de los meseros muy buena.

(Translated by Google) It offers delicious food, especially the salads..cozy atmosphere! (Original) Ofrece una comida deliciosa,especialmente las ensaladas..ambiente acogedor!

(Translated by Google) Fatal, a small can beer 16,000 pesos, a robbery (Original) Fatal, una cerveza pequeña de lata 16.000 pesos, un robo

Cute park with lake, bridges, work out equipment, jog trail, loads of trees and green, spaces for children to play, ducks almost everywhere, they know humans feed them with raw corn so they come to you for it. Lovely place, Ive seen people doing photoshoots, picnicking, barbequoing, working out, jogging, there are sometimes small events opened to the public.

Huge, family-friendly park that features paddleboats on a lake, a playground for the kids and plenty of open space for picnics so packing a lunch is encouraged. A great way to spend a budget-friendly afternoon with family doing pretty much any activity you desire. Take in the views and relax...

Is the perfect place to reconnect with nature and animals. After being caught up in the chaos of the city, this park makes you forget you’re still within such a large urban space. It’s a peaceful and beautiful spot, full of charm. Watching geese, ducks, and other birds freely roaming around brings so much joy; they are adorable. There are plenty of quiet spaces to sit, read, or enjoy a meaningful conversation in a calm atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone seeking serenity

It’s a very nice place to be with family or friends, there is a playground and lake that are enjoyable. The only think should improve is to have access to a good coffee and different kind of gastronomy offer.

Medium size and surprisingly pretty park. You can rent rowboats/ kayaks too but usually long line. A bit too many people sometimes but still amazing for camping, relaxing, couples etc. Some spots are surprisingly scenic. The ducks/ geese are a bit over friendly. If you feed them, be prepared for their pals to come hang out for a while waiting for their piece.

It was very nice . You saw a lot of people taking photos for their quince. There were a ton of ducks, birds, and swans. Lots of families walking and partners enjoying picnics.

Beautiful park with a boating lake. Great for walks or relaxing.

I went to the FILBo 2025. There was a lot to see. Book discounts are not really great, but you can always find whatever you're looking for. The only downside is the amount of people, sometimes it is impossible to walk. My advice if you want to visit it, is to get there as soon as it opens and plan your visit accordingly, getting to your favorite places first.

If you go here for Baum, you are in for a treat. It is one of the best music venues I've ever been to! It has a great layout, production to the level I never knew was possible, beautiful people, immense sound and the visuals will blow your damn mind. If there is a festival you must do before you leave the world, make it this.

Came here for motorcycle show and a coffee expo Well, organized would recommend uber in here.parking is tough

A group of us went to the pet expo and our dog won 2nd place! He should’ve won 1st place but the competition was rigged. We still had fun no matter what and it was a good day with a lot of activities and pets of all shapes and sizes

Lovely modern and super clean hotel with a very friendly and attentive staff. Wonderful executive lounge! Full buffet breakfast with made to order omelettes. Will absolutely be back in the future. Amazing stay in Bogota` only 15 minutes from BOG airport.

Visited the center for a conference in ophthalmology, about 30 minutes away (day time) from BOG airport, in walking distance to a Hilton (see my post on that hotel). The center has an interesting layout, multi levels (4), accessibility via escalator, in comparison so other convention centers, due to its design, rather smaller. Hence with a popular conference the show floor is packed solid - there are large meeting rooms on each level too, making it ideal for meetings with presentations or papers being held to an audience. There are a variety of restaurants around the center which is convenient. This location is about 10 minutes away by car to the nearest shopping center

It's a great place to host large events, fairs and exhibitions, however their security is poor considering the large amount of people they receive. They should have metal detectors active.

(Translated by Google) It is a semi-private public park because it is located in the middle of complexes, a large green space, a very appropriate place for outdoor activities, it has a small parking lot on the street that can be far away, plenty of games for children, if it rains the space is closed. It is limited because the walking paths are limited, grass predominates in this place, it has good surveillance. (Original) Es un parque público semi privado pues se encuentra en medio de conjuntos, amplio espacio verde, lugar muy apropiado para hacer actividades al aire libre, tiene un pequeño parqueadero en la calle que puede ser lejano, bastantes juegos para niños, si llueve el espacio se limita pues los senderos para caminar son limitados, predomina la grama en este lugar, cuenta con buena vigilancia.

(Translated by Google) The park of my entire childhood.... It's super quiet to take the dogs out 🐶 (Original) El parque de toda mi infancia.... Es súper tranquilo para sacar los perritos 🐶

(Translated by Google) It is a very large, clean park with fields to practice sports. (Original) Es un parque muy grande, limpio y con canchas para practicar deportes.

(Translated by Google) Nice place, I love nature, it is a good place for relaxation. Recommended to escape the city for a while. (Original) Bonito sitio me encanta la naturaleza es buen sitio para relajación. Recomendado para escapar un rato de la cuidad.

(Translated by Google) It is a very quiet, pleasant space that is worth enjoying for its relatively extensive green area. It would be worthwhile for dog owners to be more attentive to picking up their pets' excrement. Sometimes there are cyclists who travel an internal road without the necessary caution. (Original) Es un espacio muy tranquilo, agradable que vale la pena disfrutar por su relativamente extensa área verde. Valdría la pena que los dueños de perros estuvieran más pendientes de recoger el excremento de sus mascotas. A veces hay ciclistas que recorren un camino interior sin la prudencia necesaria.

(Translated by Google) A total Urban Forest, peace, serenity, fresh air, you breathe Life, you also see curlews, blackbirds, ducks, cranes, falcons, passing birds (migratory), because there are many and different colors of birds that visit the place, a lung of life (Original) Un Bosque Urbano total, paz, serenidad, aire fresco, se respira Vida, además se ven alcaravanes, mirlas, patos, grullas, halcones, aves de paso (migratorias), porque son muchas y de diferentes colores las aves que visitan el lugar, un pulmón de Vida

(Translated by Google) Very good place to rest ☺️ (Original) Muy buen lugar para descansar ☺️

(Translated by Google) UPDATE: April Colombia's insurance became responsible for the costs of hospitalization and care on March 20, 2019. Payment to the hospital in New York City took approximately a year. 05/2018 My dad had an accident riding a bicycle here in New York City in May 2018, he had a hip fracture. From the beginning April Colombia was calling every day to find out how my dad's health was. But now that we receive the hospital and radiology bills, the insurance company in Colombia does not respond, saying that it takes a lot of time while they examine the case. Meanwhile, here we must deal with the phone calls from the hospital, the bills that arrive and that they say that we will have legal problems if we do not respond with current payments. My mother has contacted me several times and they transfer her to different phone lines until they finally call her to an agent named Juan. He says that they are still evaluating the case. We have always sent communications by WhatsApp and by email as requested, I even offered to send my father's medical history by Avianca International (or some other email) since there are 400 pages, but they have not shown interest in receiving it. Many procedures to obtain insurance benefits that in the end do not respond. We are still waiting if they will respond..... (Original) ACTUALIZACION: El seguro de April Colombia se hizo responsable de los costos de hospitalización y cuidado en Marzo 20 del 2019. El pago al hospital en New York City tomó aproximadamente un año. 05/2018 Mi papá tuvo un accidente montando bicicleta aqui en New York City en Mayo 2018, tuvo una fractura de cadera. Desde el principio April Colombia estuvo llamando todos los dias para saber como estaba la salud de mi papá. Pero ahora que recibimos las cuentas del hospital y de radiologia, la aseguradora en Colombia no responde dice que se toma mucho tiempo mientras examinan el caso, Mientras tanto aqui debemos lidiar con las llamadas telefónicas del hospital, las cuentas que llegan y que dicen que tendremos problemas legales si no respondemos con los pagos actuales. Mi mamá se ha comunicado varias veces y la transfieren a diferentes lineas telefónicas hasta que al final le comunican donde un agente que se llama Juan , El dice que todavia están evaluando el caso. Siempre hemos enviado las comunicaciones por whattsup y por correo electrónico como se nos ha pedido, inclusive ofreci enviar la historia clinica de mi papá por Avianca Internacional ( o algun otro correo ) puesto que son 400 páginas , pero no han mostrado el interes de recibirlo. Muchos trámites para obtener beneficios de un seguro que a la final no responde. Todavia estamos esperando si van a responder .....

(Translated by Google) The sales service is unsurpassed, they are agile in the process of preparing and billing the policy, however reading the comments here and my experience of the trip I just took covered by this insurer, many doubts arise about the capacity and intention of response that April may have when faced with a mishap. In my case the return flight left and had to be returned due to failures on the plane. They canceled the flight and scheduled me for the next day, delaying my return for 24 hours. Since the insurance expired on the day of the original return, I contacted April to extend the policy time by one day, a condition that is not possible so I had to pay for five additional days, which is the minimum allowed by that company. Then, reviewing the policy, I found that it had coverage of 150 dollars for a flight delay and I asked April's advisor, asking him to cross the amount paid by me in the extension of the policy against the reimbursement that they offer for a delayed flight, receiving a without number of absurd refusals such as: "ONLY APPLIES IF YOU REPORT BEFORE" Is it possible to predict that the flight will have a setback and my return will be delayed? "THE FLIGHT WAS CANCELED BY THE AIRLINE" "THERE IS NO FLIGHT DELAY" Does it matter if the airline cancels or suspends or eliminates a flight? What matters is my delay condition due to the flight being delayed for an additional 24 hours which forced me to incur an expense which is the extension of the policy. Thus I could refer to countless responses that make me think that I am lucky not to have had an accident and have to resort to using the policy, because in the state of disability of someone who suffers an accident or illness, it is impossible to face a company like April that becomes defensive when faced with a request to comply with agreed clauses. (Original) El servicio de ventas es insuperable, son ágiles en el tramite de elaboración y facturación de la póliza, sin embargo leyendo los comentarios aquí y mi experiencia de el viaje que acabo de hacer amparado por esta aseguradora, surgen muchas dudas sobre la capacidad e intención de respuesta que pueda tener April ante un percance. En mi caso el vuelo de regreso salio y tuvo que devolverse por fallas en el avión. el vuelo lo cancelaron y me programaron para el dia siguiente., demorando mi regreso 24 horas. Como el seguro se vencia el dia del regreso original, contacte a April para ampliar el tiempo de la póliza un día, condición que no es posible por lo que tuve que pagar cinco días adicionales que es el mínimo que permite esa compañía. Luego revisando la póliza encontré que tenia cubrimiento de 150 dolares por demora de vuelo e hice la consulta al asesor de April, pidiéndole que cruzaramos el valor pagado por mi en la extensión de la póliza contra el reembolso que ellos ofrecen por vuelo demorado, recibiendo un sin numero de negativas absurdas como: "SOLO APLICA SI USTED INFORMA ANTES" Es posible predecir que el vuelo va a tener un contratiempo y van a demorar mi regreso? "EL VUELO FUE CANCELADO POR LA AEROLÍNEA" " NO HAY DEMORA DEL VUELO" Acaso importa si la aerolínea cancela o suspende o elimina un vuelo? Lo que importa es mi condición de demora por el vuelo retrasado 24 horas adicionales que obligaron a incurrir en un gasto que es la ampliación de la póliza. Asi podria referir un sin numero de respuestas que me hacen pensar que soy afortunado de no haberme accidentado y tener que recurrir al uso de la póliza, porque en el estado de invalidez de quien sufre un accidente o enfermedad, es imposible enfrentar una empresa como April que se pone a la defensiva ante una solicitud de cumplimiento de clausulas pactadas.

(Translated by Google) It is an international medical assistance company, its commercial headquarters is in the Bogotá Trade Center on 97th Street, in case you want to buy directly, they have a very complete insurance portfolio. Highly recommended. (Original) Es una empresa de Asistencia médica internacional, su sede comercial es en el Bogotá Trade Center de la calle 97, esto por si se quieren acercar a comprar directamente, tienen un portafolio muy completo de aseguramiento. Muy recomendado.

(Translated by Google) We have purchased travel medical insurance with April Colombia. In Venice - Italy my uncle has been ill, and had to be hospitalized urgently, the insurance company sent a letter in which he took care of the medical expenses, and now, a year later they have not yet been paid, and we are involved in problems bequeath them. Completely inefficient, they do not respond to emails or provide any solution. (Original) Hemos comprado un seguro medico de viaje con April Colombia. En Venecia - Italia mi tio ha estado mal, y tuvo que ser hospitalizado de urgencia, la aseguradora envio una carta donde se hacia cargo de los gastos medicos, y ahora, un año despues aun no han sido pagados, y nos vemos involucrados en problemas legarles. Completamente ineficientes, non responden los e-mails ni dan ninguna solucion.

(Translated by Google) It is the WORST INSURANCE that can be purchased. My suitcase was lost on the Paris-New Delhi flight and the response from these gentlemen is that they cannot compensate me because I did not call from the airport!!! What nerve!! Only someone who does NOT want to comply puts such an absurd clause!! At 2am in India with a business appointment in another city and then with a flight that same night at 9pm to Mumbai it was really impossible to call them and the damage I suffered was immense, not being able to properly introduce myself to the suppliers, without samples commercial and technical information. (Original) Es el PEOR SEGURO que se pueda adquirir. Mi maleta se extravío en el vuelo Paris-Nueva Delhi y la respuesta de estos señores es que no me pueden indemnizar porque no llame desde el aeropuerto!!! Qué descaro!! Solamente alguién que NO quiere cumplir pone una clausula tan absurda!! A las 2am en India con una cita de negocios en otra ciudad y luego con un vuelo esa misma noche a las 9pm a Mumbai era realmente imposible llamarlos y el daño que sufri si fue inmenso, al no poder presentarme adecuadamente con los proveedores, sin muestras comerciales e información técnica.

(Translated by Google) Very good attention from Daniela García. I bought several travel policies for him. Safe and reliable site. (Original) Muy buena atención por parte de Daniela García. Le compré varias polizas de viaje. Sitio seguro y confiable.

(Translated by Google) Terrible after-sales service. They are only interested in selling, but they never put in the effort to repair a sofa, even if they are paid. (Original) Pésimo servicio postventa. Solo les interesa vender, pero nunca ponen la cara para el arreglo de un sofá, si siquiera pagándoles.
