Touring the city centre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most sightseeing is not concentrated in the city centre, it is worth spending at least a little time strolling through it and taking in some of its interesting sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first, the protagonist of the city, is the <strong>Plaza Los Libertadores<\/strong>.

Its name is due to a popular sculpture in the park made by the Antioquian artist Rodrigo Arenas Betancourt, which honours the founding race llanera. The park is one of the most beautiful and pleasant outdoor spaces in the city. The ideal place for picnics or just let yourself be carried away by its beautiful tree-lined paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-parque-de-las-malocas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Parque-de-las-Malocas\"><\/span>6.

The route of the Embrujo llanero<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The route of the Embrujo llanero is a nice initiative that has been launched to publicize some of the wonderful people of the department of Meta. It covers about 100&nbsp;km and a total of 7 villages, the first of which is Villavicencio. It then passes through Acac\u00edas, Guamal, Castilla la Nueva, Cubarral, San Mart\u00edn de los Llanos and ends in Granada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This route is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the culture of Meta and enjoy its villages, its people and its wonderful traditions. An example of the latter is the &#8220;Cuadrillas de San Mart\u00edn&#8221;. It is a horse show considered Cultural Heritage of the Nation, which takes place on the second bridge of November in San Mart\u00edn de los Llanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-bogota\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Bogota\"><\/span>2. Bogot\u00e1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bogot\u00e1, besides being the capital of Colombia, is one of the most tourist destinations in the country. This huge city of more than 7 million inhabitants, catches with its eclectic charm to everyone who sets foot on it. On your visit to Bogot\u00e1, you can not miss the&nbsp;<strong>Plaza de Bolivar<\/strong>. One of the liveliest places in the city and residence of the emblematic&nbsp;<strong>Catedral Primada<\/strong>. The&nbsp;<strong>National Capitol&nbsp;<\/strong>is another must-see, an impressive neoclassical building replete with Ionic columns. If you are interested in street art, we recommend the neighbourhood of&nbsp;<strong>La Candelaria<\/strong>, with its alley&nbsp;<strong>El Embudo<\/strong>.
