La Candelaria vs Usaquen: Where to Elope in Bogota
The colourful colonial heart of the old city against the leafy, upscale former village in the north. Two very different sides of Bogota, and two very different elopements.
You settle on Bogota and have to choose which side of the city.
La Candelaria and Usaquen feel like two different towns.
La Candelaria is the colourful colonial heart; Usaquen is the leafy, upscale village in the north. Two very different Bogota elopements.
(Continued on Page 2, Col. 1)
La Candelaria is the historic old city: steep cobblestone streets, brightly painted colonial houses, street art, and the grand Plaza Bolivar, all under the green Andean peaks. It is vivid, bohemian, and full of character, the raw, colourful soul of Bogota.

Usaquen
Usaquen, in the north, is a former colonial village absorbed by the city: a pretty central plaza and church, cobblestone lanes, leafy streets, boutique restaurants, and a famous Sunday flea market. It is calmer, more upscale, and more polished than the old centre.
Choose La Candelaria for colourful colonial character, Usaquen for leafy upscale calm, or pair them across a day. As your Elopement Curator I plan the day, coordinate the ceremony, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the two are the raw and the refined faces of Bogota.
