It usually gets cold in the morning at 5 °C to 7 °C, the temperature gradually rises towards mid-day when it can reach 22 °C on a sunny day and on rainy days the maximum temperature reaches 16 °C to 18 °C.

In January there are a large number of frosts in which the temperature can reach -1 °C in the morning, usually in the outskirts of the city, in the surrounding villages the temperature can get even lower.

Usually the months between March and May and the months between September and November are intense rains, in the rest of months the precipitation is lower. There may be sudden changes in temperature and you should always be prepared for cold and rain.

Culture

Bogotá was founded by Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada on the indigenous community site of Bacatá, and has since been the capital of the country and has been constantly influenced by Spanish culture. It was Alexander Von Humbolt who named it "Athens South America", not because of its similarity with this city, but because of the education and cultural level of its population. Bogotá was the cradle of cultural, scientific and political movements. The famous Botanical Expedition was launched, and the first astronomical observatory of the Americas was built.

Traditional bogota is known with the origin of cachaco. He was recognized for his screeching accent (marrying his erres), his elegance in dress, his diplomacy in speaking. It is said that today there are very few hacks left. The new generation of Colombians uses the "rolo" kind to refer to everyone who is born in the capital. Modern Bogotanos still retain some of the courtesy and coarse diplomacy.

Bogotá attracts people from all regions of Colombia who bring with them their cultural beliefs and practices, who organize themselves into cultural associations called "colonies". The largest colony in the capital is Boyacá. Visitors can enjoy this cultural variety during the days of Bogotá's Carnival when "colonies" across the country organize culinary and folk exhibitions. It is common to find in Bogotá a large number of urban cultural events such as concerts, cineclubs, art galleries, and craft and antique fairs. Just watch out for flyers and posters on the streets and commercial establishments.

Bogotá has a National Business Center and Corferias Exhibition Center (http://www.corferias.com/) where various exhibition fairs are held each year. Bogotá has been designated as the Ibero-American Capital of Culture 2007, a distinction granted by the UCCI (Union of Capital Cities of Ibero-America). Bogotá is also the first Latin American city chosen by UNESCO as the World Book Capital.

Spanish or Spanish is the universal language of the city and the rest of Colombia.

English speakers, especially among young people, can be found because it is a compulsory subject for their respective school education. However, it is not widely shared among other residents.

In some tourist sites, universities and TransMilenio stations it is also possible to find translations into English and other languages as well as in prominent hotels.

1. Transmilenio is the mass transportation system in Bogota. You can use this service by buying, for COP$5000 (approx. 2 USD) the TuLlave Card, which are rechargeable in the lockers of the portals, stations or in various commercial premises of the city, the TuLlave Card for the SITP in Bogotá, also works in TransMilenio. Each ticket to enter the system costs, for TransMilenio COP$2500 (approx. USD 1) and for the SITP's zonal buses, COP$2300 (approx. USD 0.90). With the TuLlave Card you can do transMilenio and SITP transshipment with different costs, depending on the type of transshipment:

• TransMilenio to Zonal or Zonal to Zonal: No cost.

• Zonal to TransMilenio: COP$200 with YourCustom Key.

Transmilenio does not cover all but the most important areas of the city, which are the following trunks (lines):

• Caracas Avenue (A). It runs along Carrera 14, also called Caracas Avenue. It starts at the Tercer Milenio station and ends at the Calle 76 station. It connects the H trunk with the B trunk.

• North Highway (B). Go along the same motorway. It starts at Heroes station and ends at Terminal station. Its portal is Portal Norte.

• Suba Avenue (C) Go along the avenue of the same name. It starts at San Martín station and ends at Portal Suba.

• 80th Street (D). Go along the street of the same name. It starts at Polo station and ends at Portal de la 80.

• Central NQS (E). Walk through the central part of Race 30 and NQS Avenue. It starts at the Tygua-San José station (on 6th Street, to make it easy to connect to the L trunk) and the Ricaurte station (interchange station), and ends at the La Castellana station. Connect the G-trunk to the C, D, L, and B trunks.

• Americas-13th Street (F). Walk along Avenida Las Américas and part of Calle 13. It begins its journey in Portal Americas and ends at Avenida Jiménez station (interchange station).

• NQS Sur (G). Go south of Race 30 and the South Highway. This trunk extends to the neighboring town of Soacha. It begins its journey at San Mateo station, in the municipality of Soacha, to Comuneros station. Its portal is Portal Sur.

• Race 7 (M). This trunk is just in its early stages and is expected to expand to 200th Street. Dual buses run through Race 7. Its only station is National Museum.

2. Many buses and collectives (small buses) circulate in the streets of Bogotá and make it possible to reach almost every point of the capital, rather than using the TransMilenio system. It also exists in the SiTP Public Transport System, where card is used (the same as TransMilenio), however, taking a bus is not easy if you don't know the city or are used to the codes used on buses to designate the roads they are driving. That's why buses are not a good option for unaccompanied tourists, although pedestrians will usually be willing to help you, you can ask them to tell them what to take. Within the bus you can also help by indicating where to get off. But if you're not familiar with bus and bus routes in Bogotá, you'd better ask for a taxi by phone or plan your route. For more information on mass transit routes, see www.transmilenio.gov.co and www.sitp.gov.co

3. Dual buses are registered buses that run along avenues where there are no TransMilenio trunks and trunks. They have doors on their right, with their respective tourniquet, for access from SITP stops and doors on their left for TransMilenio stations. These routes mainly run through Race 7, where no TransMilenio stations have been built. The routes are:

• D81-M81: Guadua Bridge >><< National Museum. This route has a variable during the Ciclovía, which takes place every Sunday and public holidays from 7:00 to 13:00, which does not stop at the location of Calle 45.

• H83-M83: Usme >><< National Museum

A foot

Bogotá is largely a city designed for walking, especially the downtown sector, where the Las Aguas sector is located. Thanks to recent urban renovations, the city's platforms are becoming more and more extensive, especially in tourist sites. The most popular courses are during the 7th race from the International Center (28th Street) to Plaza de Bolívar (10th Street); the Seventh has several establishments, from flea markets, small restaurant or flea markets where bagatelas are sold to Supermarkets. La Candelaria is always full of tourists, from various parts of the world, so you can expect easier communication in this part of the city. Other famous tours are in the north of the city, especially in the T-zone, where you can find major brands as well as important and luxurious shopping centers.

By taxi

All taxis have a meter that marks one unit per minute of wait or every 100 meters of ride and a table of equivalence of values, which must be in sight of the passenger, where you can read the conversion of units to weights. There is the minimum race that is around 3900 Colombian pesos (2015). For long distances you can agree on the price before starting the race to be charged for hours. Taxis don't usually tip. In addition to the meter, another factor determining the fare is the date, note that a taxi driver will charge more on a Sunday or a holiday (surcharge indicated in the table). The minimum fee will be charged for any short travel. It is also possible to hire a taxi every day, setting the fare directly with the driver. Please note that taxis can be used to carry passengers and other types of theft, so always try to request them by phone and don't take taxis that are insistently offered to take them.

However, traffic jams (known in Colombia as trancones) are quite common, so taxi travel may not be the best of ideas, as alternatives are TransMilenio, collectives or walking.

By car

The best way to get to know the city is to hire a private CITY TOUR. You can visit more than 10 tourist attractions in a single tour with a personalized local guide.

The tours are daily and are carried out by several companies including Bogotravel tours and Bogota-Candelaria. with guides in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish. The average cost of the city tour is COP $80,000 (USD $45).

By private car

Within transport systems, those classified within private transport differ mainly from those of public transport because vehicles are not part of the transport offer. For example, in a bus system, the demand is the passengers and the supply is the buses, the stations, the schedules, the tracks and the drivers. By contrast, for car travel, the demand is for travelers and their cars, and the supply is the way. Bogota-Airport and DotTransfers are options for private cars to travel in Bogota.

For mass transport, it has the TransMilenio system: a network of buses articulated with dozens of stations along six major routes. Hundreds of food buses come from sectors far from the main roads to their portals or terminal stations.

Likewise, in both the commercial and central areas, and the periphery, several thousand buses, bushes, collectives, and taxis complete the mass transport offer.

It descends between tunnels to a Catholic chapel, passing through 14 stations that represent the footsteps of the viacrucis. Salt mines have a cultural and historical value, since they were exploited by the Muiscas before the arrival of the conquerors. The current cathedral was built in 1995 to replace the previous construction in 1950 and closed by structural problems. Look at pictures here.
