what a fascinating little old place.some quite tall bldgs there. lots of very old buildings also.I see on Emporis there is over 30 x 12storeys bldgs currently uc.
Bogota is having a boom atm. its current 62 skyscrapers will have 48 added over next 2 years! amazing.

love the tallest bldg! the 50storey/192m Torre Colpatria! looks like chicagos Amoco bldg

Bogota does have a boom of malls. They're everywhere, mainly because of the positive influence that "Transmilenio" (a massive transit system, very effective) has had. Bogota has some old buildings and some extremely old neighbourhoods like this one

and in this pic is where Bogota was founded, or so the legend goes.

Me parece indignante que no sepamos conservar nuestros lugares históricos, muchas partes "Coloniales de la ciudad" han sido tenido poca atencion y se han visto fuertemente deterioradas

Nice work! I've met quite a few Colombians and they've all been crazy! You've got to love it.
