Colombia gets a bad reputation for it's violent past, but it is such a vibrant culture and we are really excited to share some of our experiences. Bogota was one of the most unique cities we've been to and we hope you enjoyed the tour almost as much as we did!

Thanks Jojo! Yeah, we didn't even know that Encanto took place in Colombia (we hadn't seen it yet) but we had heard so much about how fun and colorful the movie was. It was really cool watching the movie later and seeing so many colombia-specific homages!

Ruth~Love it~how outstanding recording.:))

Fascinating city!! You could just feel a real cultural vibrance as you were walking around. We would definitely go back!

BOGOTA is a beautifully unique metropolis. As you mentioned, the old mixed with the new makes this vibrant city a must for tourist visiting South America. Looks like you visited the historic "La Candelaria" neighborhood and downtown. However, the northern section of Bogota tends to be more affluent section with trendy cafes, bars, dance clubs and fashionable boutiques like Louis Vuitton, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana...and no graffiti. Enjoy!

Thank you for the information! We really love exploring every district in a city because they can be so different from each other. Unfortunately, we were only in bogota for a few days, but we would love to come back and explore so much more!

Wow great tour! Thank you so much for taking us along 😊

Two shots of chicha!! Nice!!! Was hoping to see some munching of big ass ants 🐜😁🐜😁. What a cool cool city…. (by the way, just had some mangosteens yesterday…always reminds me of a sea urchin’s radula for some reason). More Colombia videos to come?

Hey Ruth and Thomas! I'm so behind! Such a fun tour! It's good you've been carrying your backpack that way, I'm sure it will be extra helpful for baby wearing :). Covering up the river sounds kind of crazy, lol! The Justin Bieber graffit was awful. He should stick to singing. Chicha sounds good! It's a pretty city! I really would have thought they would have security to carry around emeralds! Crazy! Walking backwards, dodging poles, and giving information. I think you can be a tour guide Thomas! Most of the murals looked amazing. Loved the tour! So glad the US has toilet seats. Many of the places we went in Africa didn't have seats, either. Fun times. Thanks for taking us along!

Definitely agree Bieber should stick to singing. 🤣 I don't understand why they don't have toilet seats? Do people hover or stand on the seat? I'm still confused how people do it!

Free is always good. We usually try to do a movie tour for new places we go to. Addie and I are watching right now together. You guys are one of her favorite channels. Nice masking work. Addison is laughing. Our of all new upcoming parents, you guys did it right! Those fruits look kinda scary. Ruth is a natural on the voiceover.

We are currently living in Bogota, which is where Widny is from... And we both laughed pretty hard about your bathroom experience. It's pretty common across Colombia especially where there is old infrastructure or housing. So, it's necessary to carry around your own toilet paper and some hand sanitizer.

We actually passed through Medellin briefly, but really wished we'd had more time! We didn't get to see much of the city at all, although we did take a day trip to Guatape and got to climb the big rock!!

Where did you get that tourist plan to visit the city with different forengers?

We did a free walking tour with a company called Beyond Colombia. They do tours every day! You can find out more at their website: www.beyondcolombia.com/

Well, this is Bogota, we know that is not the standard beautiful city, but is our city and we are very proud of it, you will like it or maybe not, but I'm sure that if you have the opportunity to live for some time here you will find the real essence and start enjoying all the possibilities and hidden treasures that this city can give you.

Plaza Núñez is the square between the presidential palace and the capitol, now with the election of the new president it’s been opened again after decades. Is definitely worth walking if you go back.

@@RuthandThomas 🥰 Thank you very much for answering, Medellin is currently the best destination in South America, even in November 2022 Medellin was elevated to the category of SMART TOURIST DESTINATION (the only one in Colombia and second in Latin America along with TEQUILA in Mexico), believe me you will love Medellin its climate It's perfect, that's why they call it "the city of eternal spring." I recommend you visit it in August so you can enjoy "the flower fair," which is the city's representative fair, and I also recommend that you visit the city in the wine season so that enjoy one of the 10 best Christmas lights on the planet, they are so famous that this Christmas season (December 2022 and January 2023) they were carried out in collaboration with Disney and in just 6 weeks they have already received more than 6 million visitors between nationals and foreigners .
