What is Bogotá like in December?
The atmosphere of December transforms the routine of the capital. The first few days of the month maintain the usual work rhythm, but around December 20th, the city breathes a sigh of relief. Many Bogotans travel, and the streets, once congested, become more navigable. For visitors, this represents an opportunity to move around at their own pace and enjoy a more relaxed rhythm in the capital.
The weather in Bogotá during December is cool and stable. Temperatures range between 9°C and 20°C, with sunny mornings and cool nights. Although rain is occasional, clear days predominate, perfect for exploring parks, museums, or shopping areas, making the capital an excellent urban destination for the end of the year. It's the kind of weather that invites you to walk, discover cafes, and enjoy the parks.
And if you want to arrive prepared, don't forget to pack:
- Light jacket and comfortable clothes for the day.
- Sweater or coat for the evening.
- Closed shoes for walking without worrying about the weather.
