http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2562/4007835103_38f38eeb51_b.jpg

Nice photos as well of Bogota :)

i like the avianca building

Nice, the city looks very modern.

Nice photos guys, I really like that area.

And btw, those buildings in the below quoted photo, looks really old. Do you know when those buildings probably builted? Seems to me, that those buildings are almost 100 years old...
http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac174/alejoaoassc/4132084427_df5d1b71e8_b-1.jpg

I don't know when they were constructed, but Bogotá has 500 years of fundation, so those houses could have the same age.

^^ That was really helpful; if Bogota has 500 years of fundation, so those buildings have the same age...

Yeah, those buildings can easily have over 400 years old.

More pics soon.

Which other place could it possibly be then? :dunno:

Only Bogota, Colombia ;)

Do you think is the post very busy, alejoaoa?? Tell me.

No, it's fine davizi thanks for posting those pics. Some of them look very alike but I love how Bogotá is full of brick buildings, that architectural style is very unique, very colombian.

Lo que si sería bueno es que las centraras :D

Really good photos of a nice looking and well maintained city. What is it like to live there, climate, crime, cost of living etc. Would be interested to know.

Wonderful photos indeed, and today banner is awesome too ;)

I don't know what it's like to live in Bogotá because I've never been there for more than three weeks, but the climate is 14ºC - 52ºF all year long, it has the same safety issues that cities like Madrid, London or Chicago have...just regular stuff, and it is the 120th most expensive city in the world, so the prices are quite favourable.

Thanks christos, BTW.

Bogota is not a expensive city
http://www.citymayors.com/economics/expensive_cities2.html

It is the third richest city in LAtam, by purchasing power

http://www.citymayors.com/economics/usb-purchasing-power.html

Security is relatively good if we compare wit other latin cities.

BOGOTA!!! :master:

Some pics of TRANSMILENIO, just the largest BTR in the world, complemented by bicycle paths built throughout the city in conjunction with Transmilenio. It has been model for many cities around the world.¡

The photos of TRANSMILENIO above, are indeed very nice, great :) Bravo to Bogota for such project :applause:

Those red buses are so sexy :D

Fantastic photos! :cheers: I see a bendy bus there! :D

Fantastic photos! :cheers: I see a bendy bus there! :D

Not only a bendy bus, there are thousands of them, not only double bendy but also triple bendy.

Thanks for the information, look forward to visiting sometime soon.

Not only a bendy bus, there are thousands of them, not only double bendy but also triple bendy.

Triple bendy huh?! A bus like that would need a lot of space to manoeuvre around. They have a lot of problems even with the normal bendy in London nevermind a triple! Then again, many of the streets in London are narrow and terribly congested. Interesting to see the red buses here in Bogota too though. :)

What a beautiful city! Thanks for the pictures!

I've just realized that in the beggining of this thread I said that Bogotá's foundation was in 1538 BC but it was in 1538 AD.

Gracias cobra por hacerme caer en cuenta :okay:

@Feleru*, thanks for those pics! :cheers:

That bus is massive! Couldn't imagine that on the streets of London or Paris. Must say it does look interesting. What are the bus fares like there? Pretty reasonable? Expensive?

Maybe those buses are feasible here because they have an exclusive lane so it's less "dangerous", I guess.

The fares for Transmilenio (the bendy) are more expensive than the ones for regular buses that run with the cars. The price is about USD 0.75, which we can consider a little high regarding the average income of people.

That's not so bad. Here in São Paulo the fare is R$2,30, which is like US$1.30 for bus and like R$1.50 for subway, yet the income is pretty much the same. I actually think it's quite reasonable compared to most large urban centers. How much is a 'regular' bus today, Andrés? I haven't been to Bogotá in years!

^^ +1

I agree, I don't think it's expensive at all. No podemos esperar que valga menos que un bus regular o...igual que un vaso de gaseosa :D

The regular bus fare is currently $1.300 (US$ 0.65) , in "regular" hours :)

I'm not really informed about the prices in other cities in the region, but compered to Sao Paulo it´s pretty cheap.

Those prices are not bad at all, well actually they're pretty damn good, when compared with the fares over here I mean. The prices here are just crazy! Then again, most Capital cities are always more expensive anyway so what can you do huh?!

Thanks for the info :cheers:

What`s the bus or subway fare where you live?

Qué bueno eso de las tarifas diferenciadas. Acá hace rato están hablando de tarifa para estudiantes pero ya qué, ya acabo este año :bash:

C'est vrai :). I think you beat me on this one :lol:

What`s the bus or subway fare where you live?

LOL Of course, I am speaking from the very "painful" experience (cost of living) of having to live in such cities. :lol:

To be honest, I'm not really sure what the exact prices are here at the moment because I use the car everyday for work, going out, etc. :lol: But, I do know for a fact that it's very expensive simply by observing the expressions on some of my friends faces who do use public transport! :lol: :D

The subway fare is diferent in every city, but it usually goes from 1€ to 1.40€. Europe is pretty expensive indeed.

I know the topic is Bogotá and not Transmilenio, but just one question... Are these buses made in Colombia only for the domestic SMTR, or are they also exported to the new systems that have been implemented around the region?

Una PANORÁMICA que tomé a principios de esta semana en el Parque Simón Bolivar. :)

PARQUE SIMÓN BOLIVAR

Excelente fele, gracias por ponerla :okay:

Lo que me parece extraño es que no se vea gente porque tenía la imagen que el parque se mantenía lleno.

Colombian cities have the most beautiful residential builidings, very classy and modern.. .. those pics are great.

Gracias Alejo

Los fines de semana se llena mucho, y cuando hay conciertos, entre semana va gente pero no tanta pues todo el mundo esta trabajando o estudiando..

Yo fui un Martes como a las 2:00 apnto de empezar a llover.

Hombre, muchas gracias. Muchos aman el ladrillo, otros lo odian; no hay término medio XD!

Lo que pasa es que está muy escondido. Yo se lo mostré a un amigo rolo que estudia acá y me dijo que el lo vió una vez llendo para Fusagasugá, o alguno de esos pueblos que terminan en gasugá :D

It's the wealthiest zone in Bogotá. Off course you find wealthy neighbourhoods in sothern or western Bogotá as well but most of them are located in the north of the city.

wow bogota looks amazing!

Thanks :)

Bogota certainly does have some beautiful architecture. Everything seems to fit just perfectly together - old and new. :cheers:

What a beautiful city!!! I just love it!! My cousin (by alliance/marriage) is a Colombian :) I will ask her when she is going next time, I would like to visit!

Que buenas fotos, estan muy tesas. Gracias alejo.

Thanks Alejo, very nice as always.

PD: Creo que en la última foto sale el parque La Independencia, no el Nacional.

Si es el de la Independencia, el Nacional queda es al lado de la Javeriana

Que bueno que les gustaron, gracias por comentar.

Andrés, tenés razón, es el Parque de la Independencia. Corregido.

Wonderful pics :okay:. Bogotá really had a nice and steady municipal governance that really cared about the city, it's a must stop by for people who decide to travel to South America.

very nice:cheers:

Que buenas fotos alejo :)

Hey Alejoaoa (and all other posters)

Greetings from Ireland and thanks for starting this thread. Well, I am seduced. Seeing these pictures was a real eye opener, and proof that not all of the negative publicity of Comombia is true!!:)

Bogata is truely a multi genre city. The use of red brick and the tudor syle houses is very Anglo-Saxon and reminds me alot of our older Victoria suburbs in Dublin, nick-named the "Red Roads"! Likewise, the main Square with is Classical styled architecture looks more Western European, then Spanish. But, then you see those quaint red tiles and multi-coloured buildings which desplay Latin roots:))

Furthermore, some of the modern architecture is really excellent. I particularly liked the Avianca Building.

The Citys surroundings are also extremely nice. The park on the mountain (Montserrat?) looked particularly charming.

Overall, very impressed!

C

Thanks a lot for your comment, C.

I appreciate that thing you said about the negative publicity of our country and how underrated it is, cause the whole point of this thread and others that I've made of Colombia is exactly to show that our country is much better than what you see in the news and that truly "The only risk is wanting to stay" :)

Glad you liked Bogotá!


@Fele y John : que bueno que les gustaron las fotos, gracias por comentar :okay:

Always a great pleasure to check this amazing thread out. Beautiful city in a truly beautiful country. I mean, who could not be seduced by the pure natural beauty of Colombia!? Just stunning!

Thanks Parisian Girl!

Hace rato no veia una del colpatria asi de linda, buenas fotos alejo, como siempre :)

How did that district (is it Chapinero?) with British-style architecture come to be? Really nice. I like the city, specially the colonial buildings. I used to work in a place in London-UK where there was a very pretty colombian brunette working as well, I think she was from either Medellin or Bogota... I have become interested in Colombia since then:).

^^ That district, with the british-style architecture is indeed a very nice district of Bogota :)

hey christos
i am completely agree with you. I once had a teacher who was from Bogota.

wow Bogota as the capital of Colombia is perfect beautiful,i think Bogota is not look like as a Latin America city,it's really similar with many US city,
i know that Bogota have a very good bus rapid transportation system,where everything was organized very well,how could your city government built that?because in my lovely city,Jakarta have the same bus rapid transportation system,but the condition is worse than i can find in Bogota,:)

I actually don't undestand what's your question, but this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransMilenio) might help you out.

Both Chapinero and Teusaquillo have british style architecture :yes: Santa Fé does too.

Thanks for the info alejoaoa; so its not only one district, actually are 3 :)

all the forumers that have the intention or the opportunity of visit Colombia may do it without any trouble ,there´s no risk and believe me you won´t regret.
