Bogota lies at two thousand six hundred metres in the Andes, making it one of the highest capitals in the world, and despite sitting near the equator that altitude brings cool, changeable weather all year. In the historic centre of La Candelaria, colonial houses and universities sit side by side and the quarter is covered in murals. The Gold Museum holds tens of thousands of pieces from Colombia's pre-Columbian cultures. Turkish Airlines flies direct from Istanbul, a flight of about 14 hours 30 minutes.

December to March and July to August are the driest stretches. Temperatures in Bogota hover around fifteen degrees all year, so the seasons differ in rainfall rather than heat. The altitude makes a slow first day and plenty of water worthwhile.
