Great place to spend a sunny day wandering around. There is a lake where you can rent rowboats, tons of playgrounds for kids, lots of sports fields and plenty of tracks and paths for walking, running, biking or skating. More

It is a very amazing place to visit, if you are ever in Bogota this is a must see. You must be careful with your prized possessions and the area it is in can be quite dangerous at evening hours. Be advised when going here in the late hours of the night. More

This is the place to go on weekends for joggers, cyclists and general walkers. There are hawker stalls for fruits and drinks. Youths kicking soccer balls can be a nuisance however. More
