Colombia’s capital is packed with beautiful, fun and interesting museums. Most are located in the historic center: La Candelaria. However, if you go a little further into Bogot\u00e1 you will find more museums that are just as worthwhile. One of my favorite museums is Museo de “El Chic\u00f3”. A museum with a story and a very nice adjacent park. Go off the beaten track in Bogot\u00e1 and visit Museo de ‘El Chic\u00f3’!<\/p>\n

Museo de ‘El Chic\u00f3’: history in the north of Bogot\u00e1<\/h2>\n
\n

In northern Bogot\u00e1, in the upscale neighborhood of El Chic\u00f3, you’ll find a park filled with history. Located on the busy carrera septima<\/em>, you would not expect to find an oasis of tranquility and history behind the old gate. Visiting this museum is like visiting one of Bogot\u00e1’s old haciendas<\/em>. Built in colonial style with a touch of republican, in the middle of a beautiful park with more than a hundred-year-old trees, this place has a rural feel. Since the year 1976, the old mansion has served as a museum.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
