Cultural Insights from Bogotá, Colombia

Jairo Navarro traveled to Bogota, Colombia for a month to learn about their culture. Some key differences he observed were that Bogota life is busier and more complicated than the coast, the weather is cooler so people wear coats, and ideologies tend to be more liberal. The food is also different, eating fruits and dishes not common elsewhere in Colombia. As the capital, Bogota is very developed with good transportation, education, and technology, allowing one to interact with people from all regions of Colombia and gain cultural literacy.

JAIRO NAVARRO

Evidence: Cultural literacy around the world

Last year, I traveled to Bogota for a month. I visited a lot of places and I learned about
their culture, which is very different that mine. The life in Bogota is so busy and more
complicated and here in the coast are more relaxed and many things happen because
‘aja’. People from Bogota, who are called ‘Cachachos’, aren’t as friendly as ‘Costeños’
but they are kind people.

The weather there is cool so people wear with coats and bots for the rain and their way to
talk, which have a special accent, is very different that the other cities of Colombia.

Regarding ideologies, they are more liberal than us, who are more conservatives.
However, there are a lot of religions that are practiced because of the confluence of
people from over the world.

The food is different too; they eat some fruits than are not common in the coast like
‘Curuba’ and one of typical plates is ‘Changua’ that is a soup with milk, eggs and bread.

How Bogota is the capital of the country is very developing regarding transportation,
education and technology. You can move on bus, cab, ‘Trasmilenio’ or on a cycle
because there are a lot of bike lines so is safe move on it. Also, you can run into people
from all the parts of the city, which are working or studying here, so it’s a perfect place to
cultural literacy of all the regions in Colombia.

There are many activities to do every day, from festivals to concerts or politic events, so
it’s very interesting know about it.

I really enjoyed my travel and I could know more about their customs, culture, their way
to talk and more.
