El Envigade��o is a local favorite!

While surfing the web for restaurants to enjoy during my visit to Bogota, one that came up on several websites was Andres Carne de Res. When I asked my husband, who grew up in Bogota, and many of his friends who live in Bogota, the response was all the same...a laugh! If you want to spend WAY too much money and dine with other tourists and Bogotano snobs, than head over to Andres Carne. If you opt to "live like the locals" (my travel motto) than avoid the overpriced tourist trap!

Parque Simon Bolivar
It is the largest park in Bogota, it is localized in downtown of the city, betwen main ways like Avenida El Dorado, calle 63, Avenida 68 and carrera 30, near to National University.

Unique Suggestions: There you'll have many things of to do: walking, ride bike, sail, practice sports, concert, or rest on the grass.

You must go there. It's so near to the hotels like Forte Capital, Sheraton, and near to International Airport El Dorado
