BOGOTÁ

Founded by Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada and christened Bacatá was Alexander Von Humboldt who called it the "Athens of America", accentuated by the cultural level of its population. Bogotá was the birthplace of cultural movements, political and  scientists. There began the famous Botanical Expedition and built the first astronomical observatory in the Americas, among many other events that earned the capital a clear recognition in the cultural field. The rapid growth of the city evolved of way rapidly in the last decade. So much so that Bogotá was designated the Ibero-American Capital Culture 2007, awarded by the UCCI (Union of Capital Cities in Ibero-America), and in the same year was the first Latin American city chosen by UNESCO as World Book Capital.

Our city, as the largest and most troubled cities, enjoys a rich cultural agenda, mixed national and international events that shelter all artistic expressions: concerts, exhibitions, theater, film clubs, art galleries, photography, literature and poetry , events in public space, handicraft and antiques.
