Get high on life with a day in Bogota
Forget Colombia's most famous export.
BREAKFAST
Typical breakfast options in Colombia are arepas - flatbread made from ground mielies, either plain or filled with egg and meat, then fried; caldo de castillo, a clear broth served with a boiled potato and chunk of meat in it; and changua, a milky soup with poached egg and bread floating in it. You'll buy the best arepas from a street vendor. Otherwise try Masa (Calle 70 #4-83) for pastries, pancakes and eggs.MUSEUM
The Gold Museum, hailed as one of the best in South America, tells the history of Colombian culture through jewellery, figurines and other artefacts, dating back to well before the Spaniards arrived in 1499. You can also buy some jewellery from the gift store, where you'll find unique pieces based on pre-Colombian designs...
