Cop Fatally Shoots Man During Argument In Bogota
Bogota shopping spree leave Bogotá with:
A certified Colombian emerald set into a custom 18-karat gold ring, bought close to the actual source of the world's finest emeralds rather than through international retail markup. Single-origin coffee from Huila and Nariño bought directly from a roaster working with small producers, plus a genuine sense of how the cupping notes actually differ region to region.
A piece from an emerging Colombian contemporary artist riding the same kind of regional momentum that's lifted artists across Latin America's art markets recently. A Wayuu mochila bag that took days to weave by hand. A bowl of ajiaco eaten properly, with the cream and capers and avocado on the side the way it's actually meant to be served, and a tasting menu at Leo built entirely around Colombia's biodiversity.
$3,300 in Bogotá — emeralds, coffee, and a food scene that deserves far more attention than it usually gets.
