Getting ready for Bogotá

Bogotá is a high, cool, green city of more than seven million people. A few things are worth knowing before you pack.

• Getting here

  Flights to Bogotá, what you need to enter Colombia, and how to get from El Dorado airport to the congress area.

• Where to stay

  The congress hotel will be announced soon. Until then, this is how to find accommodation within easy reach of the venue.

• Weather and altitude

  Bogotá is cool all year, the weather can change several times in one day and the sun is strong. Pack layers, a rain jacket and sunscreen.

• Practical information

  Money, plugs, phones, language, getting around the city and the public holidays that fall around the congress.

• Things to do

  Suggestions from the local organisers, from a coffee near the venue to a day in the páramo.

• Staying safe

  The congress area is one of the safest and most walkable parts of Bogotá. Elsewhere, the usual habits of any large city serve you well.

• Colombia

  Six natural regions, one of the richest biodiversities on Earth and more than a thousand musical rhythms: a short introduction to the country around the congress.
