The colonial city of Bogotá, which the friends soon reached, was a good example of one such bustling, high-altitude city. Located at 8,660 feet above sea level, today the city is the capital of Colombia. Life was pleasant at such heights and the inhabitants of the city loved to hold festivals and celebrations.
