By Richard McColl

In many ways Bogotá epitomises the Latin American city; a mix of crumbling colonial architecture and modern office blocks, vast extremes of rich and poor in a population that soars higher by the day, expensive cosmopolitan malls and a rising crime rate. It’s a place to love or hate, but few are indifferent.
