10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Bogota That You Shouldn't Miss

October 7, 2021 Natalie Tallman

Ten million people call vibrant, passionate, sprawling Bogota home. The energy of this metropolitan heart of Colombia is in part fueled by its hundreds of eclectic and authentic dining hot spots, fantastic wines, and frequent foodie festivals. Ask the locals where they like to eat, then walk off your empanadas and aji with a stroll through the historic district of La Candelaria or during an indulgent shopping adventure on the North Side.

I’ve been traveling through Colombia which included some climbing and hiking and had extremely sore calves. Called on a Sunday morning and got an appointment from the front desk on the same day (yay! they speak English- I unfortunately have almost zero Spanish). I arrived, they gave me slippers and changed into a shirt and Thai pants in a little locker area where you can lock up your personal belongings. Massage was amazing. She was a true Thai lady (well spoken English too), stretched me and worked my aches and pains. The setting and ambiance is beautiful and tranquil. After the massage, she guided me to a little sitting area for some tea and fruit. Thank you all so much. Don’t hesitate to hop in an Uber and get to Baw Thai/ Lotus for a traditional Thai massage. Warning to those who have not had a Thai massage, it’s intense and very deep, so not for those who are sensitive.
