Gold museum, book exchange, and Monserrate cable car! The gold museum in Bogota is supposed to be one of the nicest museums and all of South America and it was definitely very impressive. It was four floors and had some of the most amazing pieces of artwork I've ever seen! After the gold museum I went back to the hostel and grabbed my books to go and exchange them at the bike tour company which also had a large selection of books. It took me almost an hour to di...

Bogota bike tours and Boltero Museo Quite a few backpackers that I have met have recommended the Bogotá bike tour. Plus it's the #1 thing to do out of163 on trip advisor....

(not because I'm a big ol chicken.....) When I did get the Bogotá on my nice relaxing bus ride I decided to get public transport to the Hostel instead of just taking a simple taxi. Well there were two places in Bogotá with the same name I was trying to go I jumped on the wrong bus!!! Long story s...
