Introduction to Bogotá
Welcome to Bogotá, the only Latin-American city member of the BestCities Global Alliance.
The capital of Colombia is known for being different, alive and cosmopolitan. Nestled in the heart of the Andes, Bogotá is a vibrant city that has been absorbing cultures and traditions from across the country for centuries with a diverse blend of colors and customs. Our city is a public gallery of art, street music and exquisite cuisine from every corner of Colombia, making it the main economic, cultural, gastronomic epicenter and business hub of the country, and one of the main city in Latin America.
Bogotá feels the passion of the meetings industry; our history has shown us that fostering transformation is possible through the events industry and we strongly believe in the POWER OF PEOPLE.
We want to welcome you to a city 2600 meters closer to the stars. Welcome to Bogotá!
