The 20 Best Things to Do in Bogotá, Colombia (Updated 2025)
"I stopped by the Santuario Nuestra Señora del Carmen in La Candelaria and was struck by its red-and-white striped exterior and interior (it looks like a giant candy cane); built from 1926–1938 and designed by Giovanni Buscaglione, it rises almost 60 meters and contains impressive Byzantine and Moorish art — it was designated a National Monument in 1993." - Matthew Kepnes
