Bogotá in March
Bogotá in March offers a welcome escape from winter with milder weather and fewer crowds than peak season. This high-altitude capital is genuinely worth it for its vibrant street art scene, particularly in La Candelaria, its burgeoning culinary landscape ranging from traditional ajiaco to innovative fusion, and the breathtaking views from Monserrate, especially on a clear day.
