North of Jimenez is downtown, el centro, up to about Calle 28. Business hotels, some strip clubs, etc. Mostly offices and shopping.
The red light district is to the west of Avenida Caracas between Calles 22 and 24. Lots of clubs, chicas in front of short term hotels (my favorite) , etc. Somewhat dangerous during the daytime (I don't take much money with me) , very dangerous at night.
The north part of Bogota is the rich part. Around Calle 84 between Caracas and Carerra 10 is the nightclub area (Zona Rosa). Reasonably safe. Lots of restaurants, clubs, expensive chica places, shopping, malls, etc. Keep in mind that from here to Calle 93 and the Parque 93 complex of clubs and restaurants, you are a target. Lots of drunk visitors have been targets of taxi drivers late at night that rob them (and even kill from time to time). Still be cautious.
Between El Centro and the Zona Rosa is Chapinero, a mixed neighborhood with casas, nice areas, bad areas, etc.
Further north the most expensive neighborhood is Barrio Chico, about Calle 100. There are nice hotels and restaurants here as well, but not many chica places. North of that is upscale residencial with malls and normal stuff all the way to Calle 180 or so.
South Bogota is poor (Calle 1South all the way to Soacha).
Use tripadvisor and google maps to find a hotel in the area that fits you best. Most places are somewhat girl friendly, but may want to charge a fee (book your room for 2, make sure the girl has an ID - cedula). There are many massage parlors and clubs that have rooms on site. Use taxis to get around. They have meters and are not that expensive.
Not many people speak English and anyone who talks to you in English on the street is not to be trusted.

Hola dudes!
Been in Bogota for two days now.
Taxi is very cheap so with that in mind I chose a safe area. This is my first time in Colombia too.
Nevertheless. First morning I stepped out of my hotel to go buy SIM card and some water, beer. I got almost instantly setup with a pretty advanced scam. I was so fucking stupid. Afterwards you see it soooo easily, but right then when you are in the middle of the scam. No.
It involved one very old gentleman and two in their middle ages. The old guy started talking to me asking about an address. Then next guy shows up, starts to talk to us. He presents himself. Both very well dressed! The younger guy says he is a police man and flashes his police I'd to us. He asked us to walk with him to the police station and he would clear us as good visitors and give us papers to show for it. Hahahahaa. Please gentlemen do not fall for this. A third guy came later telling us that yeah that is the police station right there and be careful blablabla. He walked passed us two times. I thought it was kind of strange. Anyway somehow I ended up giving this "policeman" my phone and about 50. 000 pesos (I had on me). How stupid can you get? After he was out of sight for 5 min I understood. The older guy left after he got his "paper", said he had a gun on him and didn't want the "policeman" to frisk him and find it. Wow what a moron I was.
Ok. I have gone with prepagos. Valeria and Laura. Both decent chicks. They were nice, tried real hard to communicate with me despite I don't know much Spanish. We used google translate on my laptop haha. I payed 200. 000 pesos both times. Maybe too much. I just felt easy and safe to start like that. I found them through http://co.mileroticos.com, used the built-in mail there.
BTW this whole city seems to be closed down today. December 25. It is like a ghost town. I have never seen anything like it.Last edited by Admin; 01-14-13 at 19:02.

Posts: 113Bogota Overview Question, Especially for Best Area
Gents,
Sorry to trouble any and all, but I've now spent a few hours reading the Bogota reports, Reports of Distinction, Maps, Hotels, Chicas, all the relevant threads. I could not find a good overview of Bogota.
I need to book a room or apartment for tomorrow for 4-7 nights. Could one of you seniors be kind enough to provide an overview and suggestions of where to stay? I'm a Bogota Newbie, but not otherwise, so I'm not even sure what neighborhoods make sense.
I would like a safe apartment or hotel room with front desk for my valuables. Other than that, as long as it reasonably clean, doesn't have to be new, location matters most. Budget if I can stick to it is US$50. $70, incl. Guest fee if any.
Thanks!

Posts: 4Hi guys,
I'm going to Bogota in 2 weeks (stay for 2 days). I will comb through the posts here, but in what area / hotel / apartment do you recommend for the stay? I'll land at 7am so hopefully someplace that lets me check in early. Also, is it possible to arrange with a girl to pick me up at the airport? (She needs to speak basic English because I speak almost no Spanish.)
Thanks a lot!

Posts: 1In Bogota for the next couple of days
I am a new member and I am amazed at the extent people go out of their way on this site to help others out. I am in Bogota from 17-20 and would love to get your inputs to maximize on my experience here. I am staying at a hotel at Calle 65 X Carrera 5. Any places open during the day?
Thanks!
AJ

Hello All.
I will be in Bogota next week for 4-5 days.
Can you let me know any nice SP with reasonable prices. Do not like agency prices. Lighter skin is preferable.
Please PM me info
Thanks
