Cities

Botero's museum at Banco de la República

• Bogotá — the national capital, surrounded by, but not technically part of the Cundinamarca Department.

• Choachí

• Funza — a friendly, but otherwise non-notable suburb of Bogotá.

• Fusagasuga — famous for its spring-like weather and its flowers (especially orchid plantations).

• Girardot — tropical climate only 3 hours from Bogota makes that town a popular destination.

• Suesca — a popular week end destination for bogotanos. Excellent rock climbing.

• Zipaquirá — at 40 km north of Bogotá, and known for its Salt Cathedral.

Get around

Some of the roads outside Bogota are quite basic and 4WD can be an advantage.
