🇨🇴 Solo Female Traveler’s Adventure in South America — Bogotá, Colom

✈️ Airport Guide ✅ Visa Perk: With a valid U.S. visa or Schengen visa, Chinese passport holders can breeze through immigration—just show your visa and tell them your departure date. ⚠️ Wi-Fi Alert: Free airport Wi-Fi lasts only 30 mins (requires info verification). Pro tip: Use multiple emails if you need more time! 😉 📱 SIM Card: Claro counter is right by baggage claim. Got a 7-day 15GB plan for ~$15 (way more than needed!). Cheaper option: 3GB plan. 💵 Currency Exchange: Airport rate was 3750 COP = 1 USD (not great). Better rates in the city—got 3900:1 in Medellín! 🛏️ Accommodation: Granada Hostel 📍 Prime Location: In the historic La Candelaria district, 6-min walk to famous La Puerta Falsa Restaurant. Area is relatively safe, but avoid walking alone at night (locals warned me!). 👫 Vibes: Staff were super friendly—great for solo travelers! Food was meh but cheap. 🗺️ Itinerary Highlights 🔹 Beyond Colombia Free Walking Tour (technically free, but tip $12-15): 👉 Safety first! Plaza Bolívar has many Venezuelan refugees—having a guide made me feel much safer. 🏛️ Gold Museum (Free!): Ancient gold artifacts with bold, intricate designs—much cooler with the guide’s stories! 🎨 Botero Museum (Free!): Home to the chubby Mona Lisa and Botero’s iconic "fat" art style—quirky and fun! 🍽️ Foodie Moment La Puerta Falsa Restaurant 🌟 Must-try: Tamal (corn-husk-wrapped savory rice cake—so Asian-palate-friendly!). Hot Chocolate with Cheese (yes, cheese! A polarizing combo—German guy called it "disrespectful to cheese" 🧀😂, but I kinda liked it!). Final Thoughts: Bogotá is wild, artsy, and full of surprises—just keep your wits about you, and it’s an unforgettable solo adventure! ✨ #Colombia #Bogota#OffbeatTravel #TravelSmart
