SHOP
Head to the
Dibs by Culture Shock Colombia gallery in La Candelaria, then hop a cab to nearby
Visaje Graffiti Colombia and
Beta Galería, recommends Crisp. “These places help support local artists by selling their pieces and exhibiting their work.”
SEE
Big Five Tours & Expeditions works with your advisor to craft tailor-made Colombia experiences that include
creating urban art in the capital with local
grafiteros. A must for art enthusiasts: the company’s 16-day graffiti-focused journey that also visits Guatemala and Argentina.
STAY
Mix with city hipsters at
W Bogota Hotel’s W Lounge, which serves cocktails infused with indigenous ingredients and fresh beats spun by a
resident music curator. Located in the Santa Barbara business district, the 168-room hotel also features Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s greatest hits in its farm-to-table Market Kitchen.
Virtuoso travelers receive breakfast daily and a $100 spa credit.
Sidewalk bistros and upscale shopping surround the 64-room
Four Seasons Hotel Bogotá in pedestrian-friendly Zona T. Inside, an
oxygen-infused fitness center helps guests acclimate to the city’s altitude – and build an appetite for Japanese dishes with a twist at Kuru (try the Bluefin tuna tostadas). “G” is for gastronomy in nearby Zona G, home to top restaurants and the 62-room
Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá, a cultural monument with a tapas bar, a leafy courtyard, and
native spa treatments (think Colombian green coffee wrap).
Virtuoso travelers at both hotels receive breakfast daily and a $100 hotel credit.
