Colonial architecture dominates in La Candelaria. Copyright CareerBreakSecrets.com
There are lots of places where you can feel like you’re transported back in time while traveling in Colombia. Frequent readers of the blog know that I love Villa de Leyva and Cartagena. But, even in the giant metropolis of Bogota, you can find that old feel in La Candelaria. Cobblestone streets, old architecture, old second-floor verandas and plenty of churches will help you get a feel for Colombia’s colonial history. There are lots of photo opportunities. But, i would recommend that with Bogota’s overcast skies, you might want to make sure your camera can handle low light situations. Today’s Suh-Weet Shot gives you a little taste of what you can expect to find once you arrive.

Hi Jeff,
happy to see you’re traveling in Colombia!
I did it last year and I loved it.
Candelaria is very nice but sometime little scary at night. I was once visiting a friend in a hostel and ready to leave at night to go back to mine, when a Colombian girl working there told me to take a bottle of beer when walking in the street “in case something happen”…
I didn’t follow the advise but I was pretty scared to walk back!
Wow, Colombia looks amazing. I really hope I get to go one day. All the colours and the general atmosphere of the place would make for some great photos! Yours is great
