[@zebrafisgonatours]

Bienvenido a Colombia 💙! Muchos éxitos con tus estudios, gracias por comentar 🤗

[@radiantbladez]

Thanks for the vid! Could you explain the cultural reason why most Colombians don't wear shorts? Is it mainly because people are used to the hotter climate?

[@user-hp2rb8yx7p]

El clima calido de los andes a una altura de 2800 metros no es igual a clima calido de una costa. Ademas que los rayos del sol caen directos en una altura como al de Bogotá.

[@zebrafisgonatours]

Hey! Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, the shorts and flip flop part is mostly for Bogota, as it is high in the mountain Bogota is colder than Cartagena or Medellin, specially in the morning or evening where the temperature drops down. Thats why we don't recommend wearing these clothes in the city 😉.

Where do you recommend we change money? We'll be there May 10th and I can't wait!!

[@zebrafisgonatours]

Hey there! in the shopping mall Centro Comercial Avenida Chile on the third floor you will find several exchange houses and it would be easy to compare and get a good rate 😉

[@user-ig9ql6oe6s]

Thanks for sharing the information. I would love to visit Bogota but I'm concerned about safety specifically with taxis. People say to be careful with what taxi you take at night. Can you recommend any reliable means of transportation, specifically from the airport at night?

[@zebrafisgonatours]

We are glad you find our video useful 😊 The best way to move around Bogota (including airpot) is by calling taxis through Uber or Cabify, and avoid taking taxis on the streets 😉

[@lavidaloca69able]

Thanks a lot for your effort but unfortunately the microphone is over leveling, an easy fix for your further videos, i would love to see😉😊!

[@zebrafisgonatours]

Thanks for sharing with us, we are working on it for our next videos 😉 ☺️
