Bogota’s nightlife.
Great performance by @rocktrainband
Music of the original population of the Bogota (Colombia) area and surroundings. Their name is Muiscas, they are still between us sharing their heritage, and knowledge.
They survived the colonial period, and now they are trying to preserved and recover their culture.
Thanks to @laguebadeljohn for sharing this beautiful music with us.

Zipaquira’s Salt Cathedral.
The number 1 place to visit in Colombia. It is an underground Cathedral that was built in a salt mine, the old one was built in 1954, the new one in 1995 by the Colombian architect Roswell Garavito Pearl.
It has lots of art made of salt and marble.
It is a beautiful place to visit, it is near Bogota, you can visit in a 7-hours tour from Bogota.

Happy Birthday number 482 years
Bogotá was founded on August 6, 1538, by Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada, an spanish conquistador.
The city is located in the middle of Colombia, in the Andes mountains, at 2600 meters (8.530) above sea level, and it is very far from the coasts. It is the biggest and most important city of Colombia and with a population of 8 Million.
The important question is:
Why did they found the city very far into the mountains? if they can establish the capital city on the coast in the existing towns of Cartagena or Santa Marta.
There are three main aspects:
1. They were looking for El Dorado. The legend says that it is a place with plenty of gold everywhere. Near Bogotá exists a Lake called "Laguna de Guatavita". There the indigenous people (called muiscas) made a ritual whenever they chose a new Chief (Cacique), in this ritual, they pour gold and emeralds as offerings to the goddess of water (SIE).
2. The muisca culture was very advance, at the moment when the Spanish arrived there were between 1 Million to 1.3 Million. They had agriculture, goldwork, religion, ceramics experts, and more.
3. The weather is a little cold with temperatures of 12-17 C all the year ( 53.6 - 66.2 F). We do not have seasons, just sun and rain. Without a lot of mosquitos and diseases. They can settle here very comfortable.
4. The Bogotá Valley is huge, green all year, with a lot of water and surrounded by mountains.
