Anything I should know about Bogotá?
The city is 2,640 m (8,660 ft) above sea level, so take it easy your first day. Weather changes fast — pack layers, a rain jacket, sunscreen, and good walking shoes. Bring cash for small vendors. Traffic is heavy, but I plan routes to dodge the worst of it.

Is Bogotá safe?
It’s like any big city: stay alert, and we’ll avoid risky areas.
Carlo and I go way back to the 90’s, and knowing him personally, I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide. His passion for Colombia is contagious, he doesn’t just show you the country, he makes you feel it. With Carlo, you can be sure every moment is unforgettable and every detail is taken care of. The glowing reviews from travellers who’ve joined him speak louder than words.
Colombia is still high on my own bucket list, and I can’t wait for the day I experience it through Carlo’s eyes and reconnect with an old friend who truly embodies the spirit of the country.
My family had an awesome time exploring Bogotá with Carlo! From wandering through colorful local markets to sipping cold brews at cool hidden bars, it was non-stop fun (and laughs).
Carlo made my U.S.-based family—who don’t typically travel, especially overseas—feel totally at ease. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and somehow knew exactly how to tailor the day to everyone’s vibe.
Thanks for such a memorable day, Carlo! We can’t wait to explore more of Colombia with you soon. 🇨🇴✨
For Travel Agencies and Tour Operators
I’m open to collaborations with agencies who want to give their clients an extra layer of Bogotá. My role is not to replace an official guide, but to add value: a personal welcome and a friend-like experience in the city.
