Bogota, Colombia was again featured in the travel section of The New York Times the weekend, this time focusing on the up and coming neighborhood of the Macarena. This is one Vamos Colombia Tour's favorite little corners of Bogota. The NYT appears to feel the same way.
The article is at

The article focuses on its new and hip restaurants, galleries and bookstores, and notes that many foreigners are attracted to the area, as it continues to come up in stature.
We noticed in our visits that the area is full of old stately homes and buildings that need just a bit of restoration and are quite attractive. The neighborhood is also well situated behind the bullring and close to the Candalaria historic and touristic district, as well as the National Musuem. Good job NYT in this find!
These pictures are Vamos Colombia Tour's photos of the neighboord, including a fancy appartment building, a formal historic looking house, and the nearby park.
All pictures were taken from the viewpoint atop the nearby Colpatria Tower (an office building with viewpoint open to the public).
