foreign people, surrounded by lush vegetation and which affords the best Bogota
savanna landscape.

year.

20th of July Parade:
Every year, the 20th of July is celebrated the independence
day of Colombia.
In Bogota, like in all the other places of the country, it is celebrated with a giant parade. This year, in the city, there was a military parade by the 68th Avenue
between the 26th and 80th street.
Most families used to go to the parade to appreciate all the power of
men and women who make part of the Armed Forces of Colombia. Nowadays you can
watch this spectacular parade by all the national channels on T.V.
