Personalized City Map Poster of Bogotá
4.7110°N, 74.0721°W
Perched at 2,640 metres on the high plateau of the Eastern Cordillera, Bogotá stretches at the foot of Cerro Monserrate beneath an Andean light so clear it tints the colonial façades of La Candelaria pale gold. Gift a Rolo city map poster — a present as vibrant as Thursday-night salsa in Galerías and as refined as a high-altitude Colombian coffee sipped under the afternoon rain.
Famous Landmarks
Cerro Monserrate
4.7110°N, 74.0721°W
Cerro Monserrate rises to 3,152 metres above sea level and 512 metres above Bogotá, offering the most iconic panorama of the Colombian capital. Reachable by funicular since 1929 and cable car since 1955, its summit holds the Sanctuary of the Fallen Christ built in the 17th century and restored in 1925. Pilgrims still climb the stone path during Holy Week.
La Candelaria
4.7110°N, 74.0721°W
La Candelaria is the colonial historic centre founded in 1538, where narrow cobblestoned streets climb at the foot of the cerros between flowered-balcony houses and tiled roofs. A district of universities, artists, and bohemians, it packs the Primada Cathedral, the Nariño Palace, and over ten museums into a few cuadras. The huge murals on its walls turn it into one of the most impressive open-air street-art galleries in Latin America.
Gold Museum
4.7110°N, 74.0721°W
The Museo del Oro, inaugurated in 1939 by the Bank of the Republic, houses the world's largest pre-Columbian goldwork collection with 34,000 gold pieces and 30,000 objects in stone, ceramic, and textile. Muisca Hall, Tolima Hall, Quimbaya Hall: each room reveals the exquisite craftsmanship of the indigenous cultures that inspired the legend of El Dorado. Its crown jewel, the Muisca raft, immortalizes the ceremonial investiture of the cacique at Lake Guatavita.
Why gift a city map poster of Bogotá?
Gifting a city map poster of Bogotá means celebrating a high-altitude capital that reinvents its relationship with the city every Sunday through the giant 127 km Ciclovía freed of cars for cyclists. From a steaming tinto sipped in a La Candelaria café to Andean rooftops lit by the slanting late-afternoon sun, Bogotá distils a unique blend of modernity, Muisca history, and Paisa warmth. A Rolo city map poster captures this city like no other.
The map of Bogotá
At 4.7° north latitude and 2,640 metres above sea level, Bogotá stretches 33 km north to south across the Cundiboyacense altiplano, backed by the Eastern Cordillera whose guardian cerros — Monserrate and Guadalupe — tower above 3,100 m. Its street plan layers the Spanish colonial grid of La Candelaria with the 20th-century numbered avenues (Calles east-west, Carreras north-south). Around 8 million Bogotanos live here.
