What you gain in November
- ↑November is the second month of the second rainy season and shares the budget benefits of October without the Hay Festival crowds. The museum quarter of the Candelaria — the Gold Museum, Botero, Museo de Bogotá, and the Museo de la Independencia — is genuinely uncrowded. A full day of museum-going in Bogotá in November costs almost nothing and covers a span of South American history from pre-Columbian gold work through to contemporary art.
- ↑The neighbourhood restaurants and coffee bars of La Macarena (Calle 26, between the Cementerio Central and the MAMBO museum) are at their most local and relaxed in November. This is the city's design, art, and independent restaurant neighbourhood — the Bogotá equivalent of Palermo Soho in Buenos Aires — and is best experienced outside the peak visitor season.
What you sacrifice
- ↓November's 110mm of rainfall continues the rainy season pattern. Afternoon showers are the norm. The Ciclovía runs every Sunday in any weather and attendance reflects the conditions — a rainy November Sunday brings far fewer participants than a dry July Sunday.
- ↓Some of the most popular day trips from Bogotá — the Cocora Valley, Zipaquirá — can be affected by mountain road conditions after sustained rain. Check conditions before booking transport.
