Wonderful experience.. - I was in Colombia a few days ago and I got to know a place near Bogota called Zipaquirá, I was looking at the reviews on the Go Bogotá site, and thanks to this, I had the opportunity to see a beautiful place. Enjoy your delicious food, along the way and share with a professional guide, very nice and funny. I hope to have this experience again with my whole family. Thanks to the Go Bogota team
