Ciudad Salitre: Bogota

Characterized by its many parks and open green spaces, this is the best area for sports and relaxation in the west end of Bogotá. Come to walk, run or just sit. Features of the district include the Unidad Deportiva El Salitre, the Jardín Botánico (botanical garden), Salitre Magico amusement park, Palacio de los Deportes, Museo de los Niños (children's museum) and Parque Simón Bolívar, the largest green space in the city. Toward the southwest, you will find Maloka, an interactive science center, and Ciudad Salitre, one of the most successful town-planning projects in Bogotá. © WCities
