Rosales

By Richard McColl

Young professionals in Chapinero dream of upgrading to Rosales. Here the streets are tree lined, security is high and the beautiful people drift from café to design store to award winning restaurant. New bars are springing up to great acclaim such as Dar Papaya (69 A No 4- 78) for its ceviches, cocktails and ambiance, and it seems as though theaters and fancy shops can be found around every street corner. This is not a backpacker destination, but if you fancy leaving behind the dirt-encrusted cargo pants and fleece and taking a few more pesos out with you, then Rosales may be the place to visit.
