Navidad en Bogota

Christmas in Colombia is crazy. They take it very seriously. Every park (and there are many), every street, every building is decorated in loads of Christmas lights. They're all beautiful. This picture is from one park in Usaquen, a comedien is telling stories to a crowd.

Laguna de Guatavita

My first posting!

Here we are at the Laguna de Guatavita. The town is about an hour and a half north of Bogota. A dirtroad leads you to a nature reserve. Pay a nominal fee for a ticket at a guide leads you on an hour and a half trek up a mountain. At the top you are greeted with the Laguna de Guatavita, a lake inset in the mountain (think Volcano but with water instead of lava)...pretty cool. A bus waits for you at the end to take you back to the bottom.

We also visited the town of Guatavita. It sits on a beautiful lake and all of the buildings in the town are a pretty white color. It's very picturesque, as is pretty much everything in Colombia.
