Hippies Park — Attraction in Bogota, Capital District

It’s a “tolerance park” where people of all ages and backgrounds gather to relax, unwind, and detach from the big city for a moment. The name is very appropriate because this park embodies freedom and the ability to express yourself without feeling harassed. There are skaters, gothic and alternative people, LGBT, kids (which personally I would not bring here), elderly, everything. Lots of people smoking and drinking on any given day of the week in a spot where they won’t be judged, but even more so on Friday/Saturday nights where the park fills up, music is played, and vendors abound.

The one thing I don’t really like is that there are areas that often smell like urine, homeless people coming up to ask you for stuff, and police sometimes drop by and “speak” to people which takes away...

A park to go smoke weed in a dangerous zone of the city. There are tons of bars (mostly gay) around, but they're mostly no good except for Theatron. The bars and restaurants on 7th Street (which the park straddles) are much better but a lot more expensive. There is CAI (police station) located at the park, but you're still liable to get mugged or have someone siddle up to you selling bad drugs for outrageous prices. It's a lot less dangerous during the day but you still have to keep your eyes peeled.

Overall, pretty fun place to chill and hang out as long as you don't mind...

Rated so highly by our local Bogotian rasta friend.

This central hotspot is a relaxing place to come to be amongst the locals in an urban park - without much wildlife. There are police about, and a moderate amount of people, generally - and yet still it's a known spot to sit back and enjoy yourself, apparently.

Surrounding the park are a selection of bars for a range of peoples. We treated ourselves to a coctel at cocorilo, and later a beer at another bar, that was bustling over in another corner, some evening.

So, yes. A worthy visit for the...
