Store Your Luggage Around Bogota with Bounce

Colombia’s vibrant capital is a popular destination for travelers and digital nomads from around the world. With incredible views of the Andes, a lively nightlife, an emerging foodie scene, and revitalized historical neighborhoods, it’s no wonder why it attracts so many visitors. You can nibble on the bounties of the Andes and the Amazon, learn about Latin American history, or try your hand at salsa dancing!

Bogota is a sprawling city, and public transportation and taxis are likely going to be your primary methods of transportation. Instead of burdening yourself by lugging around extra bags, take advantage of short-term luggage storage with Bounce.

Like most large cities, pickpockets are on the prowl in Bogota. Naturally, hauling bulky luggage around will only help you stand out to them. Bounce can save you from the worry of pickpockets by safely storing your non-essential items while you’re out and about. 

Whether you’re a local who wants to stow your work bag while you head out for a night on the town or a visitor who needs somewhere to stash your luggage before checking into your hotel, Bounce has your back.

Bounce has partnered with small businesses throughout Bogota to provide secure, short-term luggage storage. How many times have you found yourself needless lugging heavy bags around with you as you explore a city? Thanks to Bounce, those days are over! All you have to do is input your desired area, choose a partner, and drop your bag. Then you’ll be free to wander with just the essentials.

Bogota is a huge city with many compelling neighborhoods to explore. The colonial Candelaria has been made over into a vibrant cultural hub. At the same time, the trendy Chapinero is home to some of the city’s most fashionable bars and restaurants. La Macarena is beloved for its bohemian vibes and down-to-earth food scene. Whatever your interests or travel style, there’s something compelling to see, taste, or experience in Bogota. Bounce has put this guide together to help you get started! 

As Colombia’s capital city, Bogota is home to much of the nation’s history. You can learn about Colombia’s indigenous groups, arts and culture, colonial history, and so much more in museums throughout the city. The following are a few suggestions to get you started:

Gold Museum: Located in Bogota’s San Diego neighborhood, this museum is dedicated to the history of metallurgy in Colombia. It is home to an enormous collection of pre-Columbian gold and metal artifacts. It also holds items made from wood, pottery, and textiles which were important to indigenous communities prior to the arrival of the Spanish.

Museo Botero del Banco de la Republica: Located in the vibrant La Candelaria neighborhood, this museum celebrates the work of Fernando Botero, a famous Colombian painter and sculptor. You may wish to hire a guide or take an audio tour of the museum to gain a better understanding of Botero’s signature style. 

National Museum of Colombia: The Museo Nacional de Colombia holds 17 galleries with exhibits dedicated to Colombia’s history. The building, which houses Colombia’s oldest museum, was originally designed as a prison with over 100 cells. In 1948 it was converted into a museum. Inside you’ll find incredible art, archaeological artifacts, and much more. 

Whether you’re on the hunt for Colombian souvenirs and artisan goods, an American style shopping experience, or a local boutique, Bogota has tons of options.

Mercado de las Pulgas: Located in the Usaquen neighborhood, this colorful market is packed with vendors selling all kinds of different items at reasonable prices. You’ll find textiles, tchotchkes, leather goods, and every manner of souvenir. And, if you find yourself feeling a little peckish, you can grab a bite to eat at one of the food stands.

Mambe: Mambe is an organization and shop that specializes in selling fair-trade, locally sourced indigenous arts and crafts. You can find everything from textiles to woven baskets, jewelry, and beyond. The sales from the shop go towards Mambe’s organization, which supports indigenous communities and cultures throughout South America.  

Hacienda Santa Barbara: This former hacienda in Usaquen has been converted into a picturesque shopping center similar to what you might expect to find in the US. It hosts a collection of shops, including chains and boutiques which sell everything from clothing and jewelry to beauty products, art, and more. There are also restaurants and coffee shops which offer outdoor seating so you can enjoy some fresh air while you dine.  

Bogota’s mild climate is conducive to growing all manner of different fruits and vegetables, which makes eating in this city quite an adventure. You’ll encounter all kinds of rare fruits and vegetables, all fresh and, for the most part, locally-sourced. The city boasts a vibrant food scene with restaurants serving everything from traditional dishes to fusion and beyond. The following are a few areas of the city where the food scene is especially vibrant: 

Chapinero: This upper-middle-class neighborhood in Bogota is beloved just as much for its incredible views of the Andes as it is for its lively restaurant and nightlife scenes. You’ll encounter a myriad of trendy eateries serving modern takes on traditional Colombian plates. The food is incredible, and if you’re one to Instagram your meals, you’ll find plenty of opportunities in this area.

La Candelaria: This 17th-century colonial neighborhood has been revitalized in recent years and is home to incredible museums, street art, and, most importantly, cafes. You will encounter many of Colombia’s signature flavors on the streets of La Candelaria. Whether you’re sampling snacks from a street cart, popping into a sidewalk cafe, or sitting down to dine at a hole-in-the-wall eatery, you’ll sample classic dishes like arepas, empanadas, tamales, and more!

La Macarena: This middle-class, bohemian neighborhood is a favorite dining destination for Bogota visitors and locals alike. You’ll find a wide range of culinary choices here, including Asian, Eastern European, Italian, Mexican, Spanish, and, of course, Colombian. There’s truly something for everyone!
