The La Macarena neighborhood is mostly residential, but this artsy and bohemian neighborhood is definitely a sight to see.<\/p>\n

I visited the Planetario de Bogota which is a science museum located in Barrio La Macarena.<\/p>\n

\"macarena16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a ton of kids waiting outside the Planetario to get into the museum.<\/p>\n

\"macarena17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was intrigued by the museum, so I bought a ticket.<\/p>\n
