The Sika Experience

G’day to all!

Time flies and so does the memory of my camera! I managed to find time out of my busy schedule to download all the breathtaking pictures of Bogotá and it’s surroundings. I perceive this city to be one full of culture and history. This is a city of approximately 10 million residents. Given this massive population, congestion and pollution are two downsides to this city. The lack of subways and trains is a contributing factor with respect to the daily jams.

Nevertheless, there is an awesome take to this city – Monserrate. This is a hill overlooking the city of Bogotá. If luck is on your side and the weather permits, a picturesque scene awaits. You would be able to view the whole of Bogotá, from north to south and east to west. West is where Monserrate is. Above this hill top is where a monastery will be found as well as restaurants besides the beautiful view of this South American city. A black virgin – ‘Madonna Negra’ greets visitors as you stroll up this must-see attraction in Bogotá,

La Candelaria, the old town of Bogotá is where all the culture is. Churches, museums, street vendors, buskers etc all congregated in one location. It is the most lively area with a hint of colonialism as depicted from the buildings. These include both French and Spaniard architecture denoting the colonial past of Colombia.

I could go on narrating about the city of Bogotá but I believe as many would agree, a picture is worth a thousand words and these photos accompanying this post will allow the chance for all to further immerse yourselves in this Colombian capital.

On behalf of this trip by Sika Colombia. I wish to extend my greatest gratitude and thanks to Catalina Guerrero of Sika Bogotá, Tocancipá for her help in organising this excursion.

I hope these pictures will allow all to better gauge this Latin American capital.

Till my next post,

keep well!
