It is split into 20 counties. Governed by a head at each location.
Pop: 10 Million.
Transportation: Transmilenio, Taxis, Tourist train 'turistren'. Air port is crowded.

Many parks in town, like the lungs, for free air. A few are noteworthy.
One such location is also called parc and it is the bull fighting ring 'SantaMaria'
A planetarium is near by if you want to see the movements of planets and the stars.
The joints to see are 'La - T' or the 't'.
I also heard that they were developing a location called the Zona 'G' for the gourmets. See if it is to your taste.
There is a location known as Parc Jaimie Duque, where you can see reproductions, one of them is of TAJ and the other art reproductions, worth a visit.

Here is a cross section of photographs : If the link works: It does and click on ' photos ' :

While you are there ask them if they have developed any process to get the extracts out of Maple leaves or pine needles or out of the Ever Greens. They are a set of industrious and brainy Spaniards. If they have, count me in. We can develop a cottage industry here. The mounties don't know that process yet.

When I went on a diet a few years ago, they told me, keep away from anything white, such as sugar, flour, rice, potato, milk etc.,

I am o.k. since then.

If you understand and speak a little Spanish, Senor, you have no problemo. It is always a little chilly there at dawn and dusk. Have a good one and while you are there enjoy it.

A place to see!!
