We had a short stopover in Bogota, Colombia's capital city. The highlights were the gold museum and the amazing street art. Check it out.
The Bogota Gold Museum has a huge display of pre-columbian gold artifacts dating back to 2000BC. The museum has a load of information about ancient metallurgy techniques including the use of wax molds for the production of identical pieces ... totally fascinating how long man has been manipulating the resources of the earth.
Golden fish hooks ... really wouldn't want to lose your rig using one of these!
Giant noserings ... a major feature of pre-colombian cultures!
Shoe-shine ... thumbs up!
