Lastimosamente los dirigentes son como el pueblo.. ignorantes. el sistema masivo de transporte esta pensado para una ciudad estatica. Aunque primero educaria a quienes comentan aqui en sentido despectivo y egolatra. Si quieren una ciudad mejor menos tv y facebook, lean mas y escriban soluciones en ves de quejas, aprovechen una de las mejores redes de bibliotecs del mundo!
jaja. Solo en un pais megadiverso debido a una unica geografia e ubicacion tropical, con la mayor variedad de microclimas por Ha, con lo niveles mas altos de mestizaje de latino america, surge una raza de gente diferente y maravillosa. A si mismo no reconocemos lo que nos une y somos muy regionalistas. Hemos tomado la violencia para dirimir diferencias y sabes.. no queremos mas sangre. nuestros paisajes son unicos, si crees que tu ciudad es mejor, no sabes que significa ser COLOMBIANO.
Bogotá es la casa de Todos, sin importar si la aman o no, aqui de una u otra manera se recibe a todo el mundo. Una ciudad con hermosas bibliotecas, hermosos parques, hermosa gente . Bogotá es una ciudad HERMOSA. Por que discutir por este medio. Porqué no todos hacemos parte de la solución, amar y repetar a Bogotá es el mejor regalo a una ciudad que nos da Techo (no importa en que estrato), nos brinda oportunidades, Por que no decir Que Orgulloso debemos estar de Vivir en Bogotá. Amo a mi ciudad
I'm in Bogotá visiting now and I HATE IT, dark, cold, cloudy, scary, dangerous, dirty, garbage everywhere, impolite people on the streets, smells like gas everywhere. I wanna go back to MIAMI. It SUCCCKKKSSS....there is nothing DECENT here! Im w/ my grandparents in the south right now...i like the center better, and the north wayy better. Bogota needs help fast man, im going to the coffee zone soon in Armenia, quindio so im happy, prefer there better than this ugly place..
@UpForDanceroid SO!!!!! You r those kind of persons that go on a trip and it prefers 5 stars hotels, then go into the ghetto.... u r used to live ur live by just looking pretty things, come on.... you have to think way further than that... grow uP!!! btw... I just came back from my home town BOGOTA and LOVed IT!!!!
@xtrululux Dude, you judge me by my own personal opinion of Bogota??? Dude! You are the one who should grow up, I like colombia but not bogota in especific! Goodness, dont reply such hate upon a stranger online, you, GROW UP. I never go into ghetto, and yes, I indeed do love bogota I was born there, I was just having a bad day, I still think it needs some help.
So do Us a favor don't call yourself Bogotano or even Colombian becouse miserable toughs like yours really slows down progress in my hometown, I hope one day we break the chains and liberate from oppression so I can go back and live in one of the most wonderful places on the planet. Start believing in the country and give more importance to it's beautiful ppl!
...after all the oppression, war, corruption, and fucked up stuff that happens there they still among the happiest people in the globe, that's why outsiders wanna stay because they come from an empty world where people suicide for little shit and Colombians are warriors that change many ppl way of think about this fake ass world we all live in!
@carajo99 you talk shit about my city because you haven't live outside son! I live in USA and in every city of the world there is poverty, corruption,hookers, dirty streets.traffic jams,robers, killas rapist and shit you say. But Bogota and Colombia is special because of it's people...
@nicogars100 viejo, el hecho de que sea realista con lo q pasa aqui y q eso no me guste para nada, no quiere decir q yo no tenga la vida aqui, aqui tengo, familia novia amigos la universidad, aqui tengo una vida q he contruido con lo q he tenido,pero tenga una vision global de lo que vivimos, mire los barrios del sur, del sur occidente del llamado sur del norte, los barrios bajos de suba arriba, eso es mas del 80 % de bogota... mire el centro, la Y...le parece muy bonito?? Mire las calles..
I like how this guy makes no effort to pronounce anything correctly. If you plan to visit, make sure to find out the correct pronunciations of the things mentioned or nobody is going to understand you.
Well not the best advice this guy gives, when he says that you have to walk to el cerro de Monserrate.... that exact rute is famous for roberies! Yes you have to go there, but take the cablecar... Don´t walk!
By the Colombia is the best place in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!
MY REPLY 2. and whores,and... yeah the only risk is stay longer but because of the terrible traffic jams! and it really amaze me how are you talking about the transmilenio... haha, is terrible seriously...
MY REPLY 3. And yeah we got a lot of museums and Bookstores but with almost a 45% of the people under the poverty line, who can take a trasnmilenio to go there? 1 Dollar : 1800 pesos. 1 way Transmilenio ticket 1600 pesos. Amazing we suck thats the truth.

MY REPLY 1. That was a very positive review of my City.. Thanks. However i have lived here the past 25 years and let me as you something.. how much?, yeah how much money did you get to say all that?.That is a Lie. Bogota is a dirty dirty City,With angry people everywhere trying to get one place or another, with a terrible transport system, a lot of smoke also.In the streets most part of the assphalt has been broken and with our very corrupt mayor nothing is done... Downtown a lot of robbers
@carajo99 Hey man sorry to hear that you dont like Bogota. Im British and have lived here for about 5 months now. Bogota is not perfect but overall I like it, good people and a good culture. Yes the traffic is terrible at times but no worse than the UK. Also to anyone considering coming Bogota is safe more or less, so long as you take care and dont walk around the backstreets alone at night. But maybe I will move in future, it rains too much here and gets cold at night.
@xtrululux Sadly in this monetary world you need the money , but obviously i prefer happiness... if i could just sit in a park without being afraid of being robbed or kidnapped or somehow attacked... is also as simple as throw the fucki** garbage in the can... at the end the simplest things in life makes you love something or makes you hate it and in this city no one seems to care.
@421534 sabes? ..tal vez no sea rápido pero te puedo asegurar que como persona que ha viajado a varios lugares del mundo que todos los medios de tranporte son igual de llenos y demorados.. en el tren de parís hay un promedio de violacion de una mujer por dia, y en el transporte en mexico matan a la gente..asi que ..la inseguridad esta en TODOS lados
@cqmil y que con eso???? eso es un puro consuelo de tontos, a mi no me importa si en el metro de mexico los matan a todos o a uno estamos hablando es de Bogota y como sea aqui hay gente como yo que no se conforma con porquerias y en este momento el trasmilenio en horas pico es justamente eso.
@PilikaStar Eso es mentira Medellin es una basura Bogota no se le queda atras, estamos mal estamos muyyy mal y por pensar asi (que estamos muy bien que somos lo mejor) por eso es que seguimos como estamos... nuestras ciudades son una verguenza mundial, estaremos unicamente por encima de la paz en Bolivia y realmente creo que nisiquiera eso porque por lo menos ahi hay un poco mas de seguridad... estamos muy jodidos esta ciudad y Medellin y Cali son huecos hondos.
claro, visitar la candelaria es como regresar a la época colonial pero les recomiendo visitar la embajada de EEUU, eso ya no es volver a la época colonial, es vivirla en el presente....
what a contradiction, there are the rich white folks who fly there and make the people who leave Colombia for real, life threatening reasons, look really, really bad. Saying things like this rich bloke on the video about how wonderful it is and everything, yeah, it is wonderful when you got money and you don't happen to be a Colombian. Try living there and live the real way of life there, it's not the sugar coated life they picture you when you visit there.
What do you know about Colombians??? I don't really thing that's the way a person who's been to Colombia would speak. Im Colombian and can tell the guy says the truth. Anyway, even if you really hate reading this: COLOMBIA IS DEFINITELY SUGAR COATED!
@hectcuer85 You know anyone could say the same thing about any other country with issues. Like Malaysia or Indonesia, South Africa, France, Spain, England, Saudi Arabia, etc. No country is ever perfect, even in the United States if you're poor, you don't have much to live off of. So back off, enjoy the film, and learn something new for a change instead of criticizing everything.
One thing.. Bogota has been chosen as the main city = capital of Colombia and it is an awesome place where you can find it all. There's culture, history, tourism, education and plenty of things that make the city a complete place to live. AND FOR THOSE IGNORANTS who think that Colombia is all about drugs please go read, find out and broaden your knowledge before you can talk so negatively about the country. Colombia is a place where you can find the best coffee in the world and plenty more!
@SuperAlexrios Pff Gringo su madre, XD Ese man no es gringo escuche papito es Australiano si tanto odia a su país ¿Por qué no se va? En serio estamos cansados de pagar impuestos para que desadaptados sociales como ud. vivan dignamente. No nos hace falta métase en sus asuntos. RETRASADO!
@NoirHeureux Lo mismo que le pasa ala ciudades le pasa alas personas Si ud es un ignorante tiene que hacer algo para dejar de ser la bestia que es, ignorarlo.lo condena a ud a seguir siendo el mismo animal para toda la vida.hay que reconocer uqe bogota es una mierda
Sólo me puede decir ignorante, no subestime a las personas, usted no me conoce, yo sé que Bogotá y Colombia es sí no van de lo mejor, no podemos tapar el sol con un dedo, pero eso ocurre en todos lados. Aquí hay cultura, historia etc... Nada más que las personas superficiales, desarraigadas de la sociedad como usted no lo entienden. NO me devuelva los insultos rebata con argumentos, ¿Por qué soy ignorante? ¿Por qué amo a mi país y a mi ciudad? Pobre idiota. Búsquese una novia.
@NoirHeureux cuando he dicho que ud es ignorante? etsaba hablando en terminos generales y tengo una novia preciosa sabe hacer sandwiches ya le estoy ensenando a hacer huevos pericos es una alborotada como todas las mujeres pero la he llevado duro para que aprenda a ser la mujercita de su macho
@SuperAlexrios Pues no sea desocupado hombre, porqué a lo que viene ud. a hacer acá es poner en evidencia su frustración y resentimiento contra no sé quien. La verdad lo de enseñar a cocinar fué dar información demás. Y no me responda por qué no le voy a contestar.
Pues si no le gusta....no vaya hermano.....No vaya y no le haga mala fama al país hombre.....Váyase para sitios donde lo traten como el rey que se siente.
@jupagj yo no le estoy haciendo mala fama a colombia una cosa son los chismes y otra la realidad y lo que yo digo lo digo sin pelos en la tongue La verdad duele y parece que a ud le cayo como a una patada en las guevas
@SuperAlexrios Es que sabe que pasa? No entiendo el fin de su comentario. Hombre yo entiendo que cada persona tiene su opinión sobre una ciudad y está en todo su derecho a que no le guste. Pero eso no significa que use un video donde se habla de sitios turísticos y cosas buenas para mostrar su mala opinión del país. Yo creo que precisamente por ese tipo de comportamiento las cosas no son mejores en Colombia. Osea, cuando ud va a viajar, va ver los indigentes? los ladrones? no creo.
You're right "the only risk is wanting to stay" because if you overstay in colombia, the immigration service is going to come after you until their officials put you back in a plane to your country as soon as possible...
An accurate view of Bogota and Colombia: "he only risk is to remain stuck there, charmed by the hospitality of its people and the beauty of its natural surroundings
Que bestia eres... el no es norteamericano, es INGLES, no entiendo como la gente critica a los extranjeros por no saber nada de colombia cuando aqui no diferencian un gringo de un ingles.
Bogota y Cartagena ciudades magicas las amo y pronto las visitare y hasta me quedo en una!!!!!!!!!!!!! Colombia tiene de todo y para todos una rechimba!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well not the best advice this guy gives, when he says that you have to walk to el cerro de Monserrate.... that exact rute is famous for roberies! Yes you have to go there, but take the cablecar... Don´t walk!
By the Colombia is the best place in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!
@DanishInstitute i walked the way down at sunset with a group of foreigners policemen that were coincidencially going down too... we had one very cool way down... like those surreal moments that can only happen in my country :)
You have to travell to diferents places in Colombia, rivers, mountains, volcanos, pacific, atlantic, many places to be in shock because this country is amazing......Bogotá is really nice but whe have more to see....
The main reason why "Transmilena" was chosen instead of the metro was not because of the money issue but because Transmilenio transports more people per kilometer per hour than 80% of the metros in the world AND it was also cheaper.
Danielrep, que saca con difamar a un país maravilloso? Viajando por mas de 15 países, es que aprecio a Colombia. Es espectacular. Sus montes sus ríos su naturaleza y topografía es fantástica. Que afortunados somos. Colombia lo tiene todo. La naturaleza nos ha regalado un país divino con una topografía espectacular, abundantes fuentes fluviales, todos los climas, dos océanos, miles de plantas animalitos, mariposas, ranitas, y mas especies de pájaros que todos los países del mundo.

Colombianos que escriben en ingles en este video -como creyendo que esta plataforma es muy internacional y "el mundo escucha" -: ¿No se dan cuenta de que son los unicos que estan escribiendo algo aqui? Colombia no le importa a nadie, y si a eso vamos, latinoamerica tampoco. Y somos unos ridiculos al ponernos a hablar en ingles como si fueramos guias de turismo que hablan a turistas inexistentes. Aqui no hay nadie más que Colombianos acomplejados que hablan ingles entre ellos. Shame on you.
Le recomiendo que salga de Colombia y pregunte lo que opina la gente sobre mi pais!
Los Colombianos no somos los unicos que queremos visitar nuestro pais. Ademas, por si no lo sabe, Latinoamerica tiene muchas cosas de las que deberia sentir orgullo, mas no verguenza!!!
O es que no se considera latinoamericano?
Porque su escritura en espa;ol es bastante buena, lastima la poca inteligencia que refleja.
Mire, no es necesario que se muestre como una persona muy "ilustrada" por este medio!! igual, solo Colombianos acomplejados (como usted dice) son quienes prestamos atencion a esta "plataforma no internacional".
lo que acabo de leer es lo mas absurdo que he visto en toda mi vida ( despues de chaves frias.. ) se nota que eres un completo ignorante, se nota que no estas al tanto de lo que pasa en el mundo, lo que esta ocurriendo en Colombia es un verdadero milagro...
pobre hombre que solo genera lastima, es de pobreza mental tan pobre que solo la pobreza mental lo define , pobreza es lo tuyo y en ella viviras pobre hombre de pobre vida, Supongo que eres el pobre producto de tus pobres ciscunstancias que rodean tu pobreza. Chao pobre hombre
I like the mood of this guy when he talks about Bogota. I don't like however the poor production compared with other videos from 'lonely planet' in other regiones. I thing the investigative work as well as the video produciton could have been better. Showing just pictures, no videos, and excesive camera presentation aint good for a work like this one.
thanks for talking nice about colombia.....yea we have some safe places in bogota and the food is delicious and cheap(soups,arepas,empanadas etc) ..don't forget to stop in the gold museum ,the catedral de salt,and monserrate!
I'm from Barranquila (with its historical Carnival which, btw, ended yesterday), I've been living in Bogota for quite a few years. I find it really fascinating!!! :) Unbelievable to see this publicity about the city, it's really nice.
wow, great to hear news like that about colombia, finally things have started to change, wonderful im going back there im six months time to life, i cant wait any longer, al fin
Great vid.. see there you go world, people that include Colombia in their travels are not insane. Bogota is a great city, and this just scratches the surface. Glad he highlighted the bus system, it is probably the best of its type in the whole world (Bus Rapid Transit system) - it is very cool. One little thing: the mountain is spelled "Monserrate".
Cool, nice but just cover the Candelaria zone. The city is much more than that, North and the surrounding areas of the city. + the food + the street culture +etc.
Well, anyway very good to see they are at least promoting it a bit more.
Great video, but agree with the other posters... big omission not mentioning the great food, from the small typical eateries to the world class restaurants of the G Zone and the T Zone. Still, its nice to see a video highlighting just a few of the positive aspects of this wonderful city!
Hi, i'm from Bogotá but i travel for all Latinmerica using Lonely Planet guide, now i'm living and studying in Buenos Aires. Just a thing to say... I LOVE BOGOTA, the people, the food, the weather, well i miss my city so much and i wanna to invit all the people to know my beautiful country and city. Is true that THE ONLY RISK IS WANTING TO STAY!!!.

Como canadense, yo penso tembien que el senor olvidio algo muy importante, hablar de la gente !! Los colombianos son muy orguillosos de recibir bien los extranjeros....la bienvida es inolvidable. Gracias a todos para este viaje inolvidable !!!!
True! Many homeless people who become robbers by the second you give them the chance! Of course, they might not be everyone but the youngers, watch out!
It's better La Zona Rosa, and many other nightclubs to spend the night at! Though, if you're returning back at your hostel in La Candelaria at night or by the early morning, make sure police are patrolling the area, or just don't give 'papaya' (don't use a scared face!) ;)
Why would tourist prefer La Zona Rosa instead of La Candelaria ???
If they were looking for party all the time, they would go to Cancun, Tijuana, Thailand, Spain.
What attracts tourist from all over the world to Colombia is its real people, its flea markets, its museums, its historical places, its nature not so much its discos or bars, even thou there's always time for a good cold pint or glass or wine.

Luedag 1 year ago
One thing.. Bogota has been chosen as the main city = capital of Colombia and it is an awesome place where you can find it all. There's culture, history, tourism, education and plenty of things that make the city a complete place to live. AND FOR THOSE IGNORANTS who think that Colombia is all about drugs please go read, find out and broaden your knowledge before you can talk so negatively about the country. Colombia is a place where you can find the best coffee in the world and plenty more!

Sólo me puede decir ignorante, no subestime a las personas, usted no me conoce, yo sé que Bogotá y Colombia es sí no van de lo mejor, no podemos tapar el sol con un dedo, pero eso ocurre en todos lados. Aquí hay cultura, historia etc... Nada más que las personas superficiales, desarraigadas de la sociedad como usted no lo entienden. NO me devuelva los insultos rebata con argumentos, ¿Por qué soy ignorante? ¿Por qué amo a mi país y a mi ciudad? Pobre idiota. Búsquese una novia.

@NoirHeureux cuando he dicho que ud es ignorante? etsaba hablando en terminos generales y tengo una novia preciosa sabe hacer sandwiches ya le estoy ensenando a hacer huevos pericos es una alborotada como todas las mujeres pero la he llevado duro para que aprenda a ser la mujercita de su macho

@SuperAlexrios Pues no sea desocupado hombre, porqué a lo que viene ud. a hacer acá es poner en evidencia su frustración y resentimiento contra no sé quien. La verdad lo de enseñar a cocinar fué dar información demás. Y no me responda por qué no le voy a contestar.

@SuperAlexrios Es que sabe que pasa? No entiendo el fin de su comentario. Hombre yo entiendo que cada persona tiene su opinión sobre una ciudad y está en todo su derecho a que no le guste. Pero eso no significa que use un video donde se habla de sitios turísticos y cosas buenas para mostrar su mala opinión del país. Yo creo que precisamente por ese tipo de comportamiento las cosas no son mejores en Colombia. Osea, cuando ud va a viajar, va ver los indigentes? los ladrones? no creo.

You're right "the only risk is wanting to stay" because if you overstay in colombia, the immigration service is going to come after you until their officials put you back in a plane to your country as soon as possible...

Well not the best advice this guy gives, when he says that you have to walk to el cerro de Monserrate.... that exact rute is famous for roberies! Yes you have to go there, but take the cablecar... Don´t walk!
By the Colombia is the best place in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!

The main reason why "Transmilena" was chosen instead of the metro was not because of the money issue but because Transmilenio transports more people per kilometer per hour than 80% of the metros in the world AND it was also cheaper.

Danielrep, que saca con difamar a un país maravilloso? Viajando por mas de 15 países, es que aprecio a Colombia. Es espectacular. Sus montes sus ríos su naturaleza y topografía es fantástica. Que afortunados somos. Colombia lo tiene todo. La naturaleza nos ha regalado un país divino con una topografía espectacular, abundantes fuentes fluviales, todos los climas, dos océanos, miles de plantas animalitos, mariposas, ranitas, y mas especies de pájaros que todos los países del mundo.

Colombianos que escriben en ingles en este video -como creyendo que esta plataforma es muy internacional y "el mundo escucha" -: ¿No se dan cuenta de que son los unicos que estan escribiendo algo aqui? Colombia no le importa a nadie, y si a eso vamos, latinoamerica tampoco. Y somos unos ridiculos al ponernos a hablar en ingles como si fueramos guias de turismo que hablan a turistas inexistentes. Aqui no hay nadie más que Colombianos acomplejados que hablan ingles entre ellos. Shame on you.
danielrep 2 years ago
Le recomiendo que salga de Colombia y pregunte lo que opina la gente sobre mi pais!
Los Colombianos no somos los unicos que queremos visitar nuestro pais. Ademas, por si no lo sabe, Latinoamerica tiene muchas cosas de las que deberia sentir orgullo, mas no verguenza!!!
O es que no se considera latinoamericano?
Porque su escritura en espa;ol es bastante buena, lastima la poca inteligencia que refleja.

I like the mood of this guy when he talks about Bogota. I don't like however the poor production compared with other videos from 'lonely planet' in other regiones. I thing the investigative work as well as the video produciton could have been better. Showing just pictures, no videos, and excesive camera presentation aint good for a work like this one.

Great vid.. see there you go world, people that include Colombia in their travels are not insane. Bogota is a great city, and this just scratches the surface. Glad he highlighted the bus system, it is probably the best of its type in the whole world (Bus Rapid Transit system) - it is very cool. One little thing: the mountain is spelled "Monserrate".
raynekoest 3 years ago 6
Cool, nice but just cover the Candelaria zone. The city is much more than that, North and the surrounding areas of the city. + the food + the street culture +etc.
Well, anyway very good to see they are at least promoting it a bit more.

Great video, but agree with the other posters... big omission not mentioning the great food, from the small typical eateries to the world class restaurants of the G Zone and the T Zone. Still, its nice to see a video highlighting just a few of the positive aspects of this wonderful city!

True! Many homeless people who become robbers by the second you give them the chance! Of course, they might not be everyone but the youngers, watch out!
It's better La Zona Rosa, and many other nightclubs to spend the night at! Though, if you're returning back at your hostel in La Candelaria at night or by the early morning, make sure police are patrolling the area, or just don't give 'papaya' (don't use a scared face!) ;)

Why would tourist prefer La Zona Rosa instead of La Candelaria ???
If they were looking for party all the time, they would go to Cancun, Tijuana, Thailand, Spain.
What attracts tourist from all over the world to Colombia is its real people, its flea markets, its museums, its historical places, its nature not so much its discos or bars, even thou there's always time for a good cold pint or glass or wine.
