The Sights and Sounds of Barrio Engativa in Bogota

 

Barrio Engativa is a poor working class neighborhood located close to Bogota International Airport. The neighborhood of Engativa is very industrial and desolate. It’s almost representative of the slums of Bogota, but it hasn’t quite reached there yet.

It was a dark, gloomy, and rainy evening on my last day in Bogota and I went on a venture for local food at a sit down restaurant.

Little did I know that the neighborhood was very desolate and abandoned.

Many of the shops and restaurants were boarded up and closed for good.

Thankfully there were numerous street vendors on the intersection of Calle 63 and Transversal 93.

The most appetizing street food was the corn vendor.

Many local working class Colombians were waiting for the micro-buses for transport back to their homes.

The locals of Barrio Engativa were friendly and most of them were just hanging around talking with friends and having a good time.
