Bogota – Introduction

Bogotá is the largest city in Colombia. It is the third-highest capital in South America (after La Paz and Quito), at an average of 2,640 m (8,660 ft) above sea level.

Bogotá was founded as the capital of the New Kingdom of Granada in 1538 by Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada. In 1819 Bogotá became the capital of the independent nation of Colombia.

We can provide information on programme, geographical areas and building types up to a year ahead of your Colombian architectural tour. For example a group of architects interested in innovative Bogota residential buildings could be provided with tailored information allowing a tour programme to be agreed prior to their visit to Colombia.
