First of all: I do NOT answer questions about Passports, Legal issues, Government procedures nor person searches. I know very little about these topics. Please don't insist ! I'm a middle-age Colombian with a thirst for travel. I've managed to travel through good portions of this complex but fascinating country and could provide advice on destinations, special care, hazards, prices and highlights. I've also traveled throughout a part of Central and South America, Australia, Asia, Europe and North America, so I think I could provide some balanced advice, avoiding nationalistic hype but also pointing out some particular, unique charms of this unusual land.

Experience in the area

Constant traveler, scuba-diver, Media Communication academic, amateur photographer.

Education/Credentials

PhD in Media Communication. I speak Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and a bit of German.

Hey Joey    you do not mention where u work in Bogota. The city is fairly big and if u work in an industry in the south, a town in the north would be too far away and traffic would be nightmarish.
