Getting to Bogotá is easiest by air; El Dorado International Airport serves direct flights from across the Americas and Europe, and is well-equipped for digital nomads. Airport taxis, ride-shares, and affordable airport buses make travel to the city center quick and easy. If you’re traveling within Colombia, long-distance buses connect Bogotá to major cities like Medellín, Cali, and Cartagena.
Trains and boats are not common travel options to Bogotá, as the city is landlocked in the Andes. Weather in November is mild but rainy, so pack accordingly—occasional storms can cause minor flight delays. Good internet and coworking spaces are available citywide, making Bogotá practical for extended working stays.
Bogotá enjoys a cool, spring-like climate year-round due to its high elevation (about 2,640 meters/8,660 feet). Daytime highs usually range from 14°C to 20°C (57°F to 68°F), with chilly nights and frequent cloud cover. Rain is common, especially from April to May and October to November.
During November 17 to November 24, visitors can expect mild temperatures, refreshing breezes, and occasional afternoon showers. While it’s the rainy season, extreme weather is unusual—showers are typically brief, so sightseeing and cultural activities continue as usual. It's wise to bring an umbrella and light jacket.
The city’s vibrant arts scene, markets, and tours remain lively throughout November. Enjoy Bogotá’s rich gastronomy, bustling festivals, and cozy nightlife despite the gentle rainfall.
Bogotá’s cuisine features hearty dishes like ajiaco (chicken and potato soup), bandeja paisa, and arepas, often enjoyed with fresh fruit juice or Colombian coffee. Don’t miss the city’s signature hot chocolate with cheese at a historic café. Try local beers or aguardiente for an authentic Bogotá experience.
For quality eats on a digital nomad budget, explore Zona G and Carrera 13 for trendy restaurants like El Pantera and inexpensive gems such as La Puerta Falsa for classic snacks. Café San Alberto and Azahar Café serve excellent coffee, while Andrés D.C. offers lively drinks and local culture.
Tipping is customary; 10% is often added to your bill. Vegetarian and vegan options are increasingly available, but be sure to ask about ingredients, as dishes often contain meat or dairy. Lunchtime "menú del día" deals are budget-friendly and filling.
