Well, let&#8217;s start by getting to know this beautiful city a little.<\/p>\n<p>Bogota is the capital of Colombia and is located in the centre of the country, in the Andina region. It is the third highest capital in South America at 2625 meters above sea-level.

In reality, it&#8217;s not that cold, but this nickname was given by citizens of other cities in Colombia, which are much warmer, so to them Bogota seems frozen!

So, this park is located right between lots of sweet places to check out in Bogota.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Outside Bogota<\/h3>\n<p>What could you do in and around Bogota if you have some more time on your hands? The magic, fun and beauty doesn&#8217;t stop at the city limits! The areas surrounding Bogota are gorgeous, too, and here are a few of the spots that we think you would like:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Tequendama Falls<\/h4>\n<p>In the municipality of Soacha, the Bogota river falls into a rocky abyss from a height of about 157 meters. There is also an old building beside the Tequendama Falls that today serves as a museum, but in the past it was a lodging house for the elite of Bogota.<\/p>\n<p>They say that this place is cursed by witchcraft, and although I&#8217;m not sure about that, I can definitely tell you that the Tequendama Falls are beautiful!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_9520\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9520\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1.jpg\" alt=\"tequendama falls bogota view from drone\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bogota_salto_de_tequendama1-213x120.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What to do in Bogota &#8211; Tequendama Falls: Natural waterfall of the Bogota river with a height of 157 metros<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Jaime Duque Park<\/h4>\n<p>This thematic, cultural and enjoyable park is located in the municipality of Tocancip\u00e1, and is home to loads of attractions, among them a map of Colombia in relief of 12 meters, a zoo, replicas of the Taj Mahal, the seven wonders of the world, a monument to God, and much more.
