The first time I planned to visit my offshore call centre in Bogotá, Colombia, corporate security sat me down for a stern talking to. I was given a long list of things not to do: don’t hail a cab, don’t wear jewelry, don’t leave the hotel, don’t speak to anyone, etc… We have all heard the stories about Colombia and the risks of traveling to the country. The only risk is that you will not want to leave!

Bogotá  is a beautiful green city nestled in the Andes mountains. The city is home to  an abundance of parks, restaurants and historic sites.

La Candelaria is the historic centre of Bogotá replete with museums, schools and colonial architecture. It is a must see.
