My hometown

My lovely home is in Bogota, Colombia and it is nice and very comfortable to live there. Bogota is the biggest city in Colombia and is located in the top of a mountain. As it is more or less 3000 meters up the level of the sea, the city usually is cold, but the view around the city is pretty amazing. Bogota is an urban paradise. Every day, you can see the city full of people walking trough the streets, buildings and shopping malls, as the city is the most important in the country, we receive hundreds of people from different regions of Colombia and from all of the other countries too. The life in Bogota is very comfortable, because the city has all that every one could need or desire: beautifull and modern buildings, luxurious spas and hotels, parks, lakes and is the place where the best restaurants of national and international food are present. Bogota is not only a mass of people and builds, the diversity in my city is incredible. If you like the nature, in the north part of the city you can find long extensions of grass, trees an all kind of animals and flowers, specially the Orchids which are our most representative flowers. Among the roads you can stop, take a rest, look at the incredible view and taste one of our traditional plates called " Ajiaco ", or a delicous hot chocolate with cheese and "empanadas". Bogota is my favorite city. I know, I have to know many other cities in this big world, but like people in my country says: Bogota is 3000 meter closer to the stars .
