Oasis Itinerary: Bogotá, Colombia

Oasis Collections: Colombia launched in August 2010 and now features apartments and homes in the country’s most sought-after destinations including Bogotá, Cartagena and Medellín. Parker Stanberry, Oasis CEO and co-founder, regularly visits each Oasis Destination and he has just jetted off to Colombia.  He so kindly gave us his itinerary for Bogotá and Cartagena so that we could share it with you, dear readers. Read on for Part 1 of his Colombia Itinerary: Bogotá.

Where to Stay | Alameda Chico

This modern studio is located on Calle 89, near Parque 93 and Zona T, the trendiest districts in Bogotá. Tastefully decorated by its owners – an architect and a fashion designer – the apartment features high ceilings, big windows and a decorative fireplace. The luxury building provides 24-hour security, parking, a pool and sauna. See more of Alameda Chico here.

Wednesday Dinner | Central Cevicheria

With over 20 types of ceviche and a variety of fresh fish served whole, Central Cevicheria is one of the best seafood restaurants in Bogotá. Cuban music, specialty cocktails and a chic crowd keep the restaurant busy throughout the week.  Cra 13 con Calle 85 More info

Wednesday Drinks | Armando Records

This open-air, rooftop lounge is reminiscent of a bar you might find in NYC’s East Village with its hipster crowd and indie music. But shots of aguardiente, Colombia’s unofficial national spirit – keep you grounded in South America. Calle 85 No. 14-46 More info

Thursday Dinner | Kong

Known for its stylish, yet over-the-top decor and delicious Szechuan menu, Kong does not disappoint. Grab a seat near the open kitchen where the Chef prepares everything from fried rice to duck with oyster sauce. After dinner, migrate to the sexy downstairs bar where you can grab a seat in one of the plush velvet chairs and enjoy an after-dinner cocktail. Calle 69A #5-36 More info

Thursday Drinks | El Coq

The kitsch decor at El Coq is a departure from Kong, but that doesn’t mean the Colombian jet-set don’t flock there – making it a great place for people watching and dancing. Calle 84 No. 14-02 No website

Friday Dinner | Andres Carne de Res

A unique blend of steakhouse and club, the beloved Andres Carne de Res is famous as much for its delicious steak as it is for its all-night dance parties. Calle 82 No. 12-21 More info
