Sunday was also International dance day, with in Bogota a free show performed by children and teenagers showing their dancing talent in Tango, salsa, Ballet, etc. On our last day, we climbed Cerro de Monserrate, and wondered around the back streets of the city centre, so colourful and filled with colonial buildings.
