Finca outside Bogotá

---

Last weekend was a 'puente', which is basically one of many long weekends here as everybody was given the Monday off work. A group of 8 of us rented a finca, which is a basic villa outside of the city and is something many Bogotáns have for weekend retreats, especially as land in the countryside here is cheap. It was in a place called Guatavita, which is a large lake in the mountains about an hour and a half outside of the city. It was pretty stunning as you can see below, and is unbelievably similar to somewhere like Lake Windermere. The finca itself was a very basic, with only just electricity to have light, but definitely no TV or computers! We were in an extremely remote area, surrounded by nothing but fields and the occasional farmhouse. The best thing about the finca was an enormous bbq in the garden which we put to good use!
