[@johneescobar8652]

Me gusta mucho el recorrido x esa zona, esas casas restaurantes casa quintas son espectaculares es una de las partes mas bonitas de bogota

[@BETOETE]

[@ammyjude8994]

Good vídeo Richard. Woke And watching ,😉 good morning from Brazil

[@scottvernon9413]

some of that really resembles London by Euston Station.... how clean and nice... I'm visiting in December '18.

[@paulajaramillo937]

[@luisjarrin5866]

good streets for to walk

[@PhillyDom]

Zone G lookings like a really upscale neighborhood. Nice video Richard World Traveller.........

[@sebasty1800]

Is not, actually. It's a sort of an average neighbourhood for average people IN BOGOTÁ

[@deadxn_1]

Richard what do you do for a living to Travel the World??? Please let me know your secret? I want to do what you do.....

[@kevinnarvaez7220]

This is an exclusive area of ​​Bogota, you will find expensive restaurant and bars, national and international chefs. It is very common to see expensive cars.

[@andy386770]

For those concerned about safety in Bogotá, here´s a link, the latest I found online, to the most dangerous cities in the world, in terms of homicide rate, not even one Colombian city is there, Medellín in particular, at some point back in the early 1990`s got to exhibit the highest homicide rate in the whole world, Since then, the city has done a lot to get rid of that awful label as to be the most dangerous city in the world, and the great efforts made in that direction have certainly paid off, the homicide rate dropped to about 20 per 100,000 inhabitants, way lower than Caracas (130), and a little higher than Bogotá, (14,7). Fact is both Medellín and Bogotá, are safe enough to visit and enjoy, they are both wonderful cities.

[@rubenfranco7690]

Great man

[@machucast]

Homicide rate may not be the highest, but random violence is always up there. I was held up at gunpoint and knife point several times, and I was a local lol. Have seen some bad bad shit go down in the 20 years i lived in Bogota.

[@metallion0738]

I agree with you.

[@philiphayes9910]

Bogotá has always had very strong British traditions for some reason around the turn of the century the city's bourgeoisie began to replicate everything English as it was very popular at the time and began erecting Tudor style houses and tall brick buildings. The people of Bogotá, especially the high society began observing "High Tea Time" at 11am called "Las Once" and "el Tecito con Almojábanas" again very English and proper 🤪 These traditions are very much a part of Santa Fé de Bogotá.

[@BOGOTAROCKSTAR]

no thanks!

[@isaurocano5616]

Richard. An advice so that your videos show what you really want to show; what is the city, its people, its streets, etc, etc. Do it at the hours of noon or at the end of the day. And not a holiday or when it's raining. This is valid for any city in the world that you want to show. For the rest, very well, and thank you for wanting to show part of our cities. Congratulations

[@retromoto9456]

check out Monserrate! Great video opportunity!

[@ucantcme2570]

Either your walking around some nice Rich areas or Colombia is a clean place. I haven't seen trash on the streets, it reminds me of Japan.

[@johanrodriguez7147]

U CAN'T C ME You don't usually see trash in Colombian cities in any areas. Usually the most touristy areas are cleaner, but generally Colombian cities are always clean. :)

[@HyvesTVShows1]

Yes, Colombian cities are always clean, except those food market places where veggies and fruits are everywhere on the floor.

[@David2751]

Unfortunately, and to be honest with you, the norther you get the dirtier the place is. Specially in the caribbean cities, people has less culture compared to Bogotá, Medellin, Eje Cafetero, etc.

[@jazzman5652]

I take it this the affluent part of the city. Hey Richard the Land Cruisers aren't cheap either, nice video. Can you please do a video of Usaquen if you can? Oh, maybe you narrate more.👌

[@bensassy8137]

Is it safe? I’m visiting Bogotá end of the year and heard the nice area to stay is Chico or the northern parts of Bogota. I’ll only in in Bogota for 4 days before I fly to Aruba. I want to do lots of shopping and see some culture. Any suggestion? Thanks

[@bensassy8137]

jcjdkdnaljfis jxjdkd thanks for the advice! Amazing advice!

[@sebastianvillamil4373]

The best part for shopping on bogota its “zona rosa” among 82 street and 85 street, that neighborhood it’s called la Cabrera one of the most expensive ones it’s practically next to the other ones like “Chico” “Chico reservado” “el nogal” “virrey” “el retiro” and up to carrera 7th u I’ll find this ones like in this video zona g which it’s actually located on the most iconic rich neighborhood called “los Rosales” and also there’s a lot of others nice locations going straight through the carrera 7th like “el refugio” and the other ones on the north of the city like “Santa Barbara” and “Santa Ana”

[@bensassy8137]

Sebastian Villamil thanks sebastien!

[@kamerun1]

I would like to move there from overseas. Are 1 bedroom's in Zona G popular? How much do they rent for (range)? How much to buy? Thanks

[@awab6153]

would have loved to see some of these streets at night to see how the night life is over there ! great content tho

[@RichardsWorld]

The problem is the safety. Most people won't even do what I was doing during the day. Doing this at night would be quite a situation. Some places would be OK at night for some sort clips, like in the Zona Rosa area. I took my night club videos in that area. I wanted to do some at night, but it didn't seem like a good idea.

[@rubenfranco7690]

I think there's no problem on filming some clips at night around the city, you can also get a friend and go with him for more safety, but I think it's not a big deal.

[@hchain9450]

If it wasn't for the chaotic traffic of Bogotá, I could definitely retire there. The weather is great, so are the endless culinary options, shopping, and convenience to have a shop to tailor to your needs within walking distance. But!, that f..ing traffic and city noise messes it up for me.

[@julianandresful]

hopefully the upcoming metro will fix that

[@johnorlitta]

What did the taxi driver at 3:11 say?

[@RichardsWorld]

I only seen him stare at me and have a big smile. People usually look at me strange or pretend like they don't see me in Bogota, or maybe a dirty look.

[@robertc8690]

not surprisingly, pretty senoritas every few steps. im hesitant to go to bogota though. ive heard its dangerous. im going to medellin but bogota scares me. on the other hand i dont want to miss out on the lovely scenery in bogota. im conflicted i dont know what to do. any advice?

[@arodriguez167]

Robert C Bogota is not that dangerous just some parts, there's a lot of things to do there, you will be fine, just don't show off to much your expensive belongings

[@robertc8690]

thanks for the advice. i dont think i will be able to resist going to bogota at least for a couple days when im in colombia although my mission and focus will be medellin.

[@RichardsWorld]

I think you said you can speak Spanish, so if you stay in the areas like I have shown in my videos, it's pretty safe. The touristy area that gets some bad reputation is down south were the old buildings and museums are.

[@BETOETE]

my friend, dangerous places are in Mexico City, Caracas, Rio de Janeiro and so on;just be careful and don't bed the common sense rules.

[@learnspanishwithandres1481]

take the risk, youll probably fall in love with this country.

[@andrerayomusiconline]

esta zona es linda para llevar a tu pareja?

[@Habitosdelbalon]

Definitivamente si, hay restaurantes de gran prestigio. No es la zona rosa, pero en mi punto de vista, esta zona es mucho más elegante.

[@danielperdomo2622]

[@SalMightyOne]

Calle, pronounce the 'll' like the 'y' in 'you', or better yet, pronounce the 'lle' like the 'ye' in yellow.

[@RichardsWorld]

Thanks. If I think about it first, I can pronounce words like this better. But if I don't think about it, my pronunciation is very bad.

[@Andrei-jz2pp]

But why in Medellin 'll' pronounced like 'j'?

[@Andrei-jz2pp]

Thank you. I'm gradually learning Spanish, and such details are really interesting.

[@RichardsWorld]

Fabio is right. The people in Medellin say it like - Me dih gene. If that is how they say it, that it the name. But, people say Japan, but it is not really called Japan.

[@aeromaximon]

Or 'j' like they do in Latin America.

[@BETOETE]

If U go to Rio, Ciudad de Panama and others, U can go to Bogota. Just use common sense. Don't be too adventurous if U don't know something well.

[@drugsbunny8586]

SOCO TROCO if u have to much fear dont come here pls! xD

[@aeromaximon]

And be sure to use a map too. Also, pay attention to road signs and landmarks so that you can find your way around the city, because Bogotá is a huge city.

[@chrisbullock6477]

Come on Richard.....Cali 69? you know better at least by now that its Calle 69 the double LL's have a Y sound

Where is the heart of Bogota? The beating downtown heart? Is there one? Or is it all just spread out little houses....

[@johanrodriguez7147]

Bogota has an impressive downtown, though a bit ran down, it has a marvellous complex of skyscrapers, historic architecture and amazing squares and museums. He was walking on what would be considered Midtown Bogota, Chapinero.
