Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Travel Intelligence
Bogotá sits at roughly 2,640 meters (8,660 feet) above sea level, which gives it a cool, spring-like climate year-round rather than four distinct seasons. Daytime highs typically hover around 19-20°C (66-68°F), with nights dropping to 7-11°C (45-52°F) — pack layers regardless of when you visit, since the temperature swings more between day and night than it does across the calendar.
Rainfall follows a bimodal pattern rather than a single wet season: it's driest from December through March and again in July-August, and wettest from April through June and September through November. March tends to be the wettest month, August the driest and sunniest. For the best odds of clear weather, aim for July-August or the December-February window.
Bogotá also marks its founding (August 6, 1538) with a multi-day city-wide celebration in early August, and hosts Rock al Parque — one of Latin America's largest free music festivals — in the same period, so expect bigger crowds and a livelier atmosphere if visiting then. The Ibero-American Theater Festival, one of the world's largest theater festivals, takes over the city for about two weeks every odd-numbered year.
