What's this trip about?

    Home to more than 8 million people, Bogotá, is nestled in the northern Andes mountains. The capital city lies 2,640 meters, or 8,660 feet, above sea level. Bogotá was founded in 1538 and still retains its historical charm in areas such as La Candelaria. Aside from being historically significant, Bogotá is also known for its arts, gastronomy, and culture. More than 500 statues are scattered around San Agustin; which makes it unbelievable that so little is known about this ancient artwork. Archaeologists discovered that the stones sculptors used come from volcanoes and conclude that the carvings have their origin between the 1st and 4th century AD. However, overall very little is known about those who created these mysterious statues. The Amazon river dolphin, also known as the pink river dolphin or ‘boto’, only lives in freshwater. The dolphins come in all different shades of pink. The murkier the water, the pinker it will be. The sun’s rays cause them to lose their pigmentation.
