Question
What is the appropriate attire for both women and men in Columbia? We will be vacationing in Bogota and Cartagena.

Answer
Hi James,
Bogota is like any metropolitan city, what you wear at home is more than appropriate. During the days right now there is a lot of sun and at nights is getting quite chili. Cartagena is very hot and so beach attire is ok. If you are going out to dinner then something a bit more formal.
We dress very west like, so not different than the U.S.
Happy travels!
