    Up at Monserrate, behind the church, you'll find a long string of souvenir stands selling everything from the very tacky and cheap to the not bad for a gift for co-workers. I wouldn't call too much of this stuff fine handicrafts, but it's interesting to browse.

    The second picture was taken in downtown just across the street from my hotel, where there was a market selling various things from food to cell phones.

  • Name of Shop: Andino Mall

    The Andino Mall is a very nice, modern shopping mall in Zona Rosa toward the northern end of Bogota. I went here to visit a travel agency where we booked an airline ticket to Ecuador, but there are also plenty of stores here selling most things you might need. Some of the stores are international brands and some are national. There is also a movie theater here.

     Continental Airlines sometimes offers a weekend special to Bogota. Your page has helped me better understand what it's like -- I like the fact that people are natural and friendly.

     I'm from Philly and will be going to Columbia in July! I'm kind of nervous...your advice helped my fear! Any other tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

     Very cool, a brewpub and like the tip about making calls from other's cell phones too. Look forward to checking this all out next winter. Hmm, I just might have to stay in La Candelaria. ;)
