Sports in Bogota

In Bogota, you have your ubiquitous football teams and some other less conventional sports all of which possess their fervent supporters.

For football games you can choose to be a follower of Santa Fe de Bogota or Millionarios. Both teams are struggling presently and are the laughing stock of other cities like Medellin and Cali. Club Los Millonarios (Cra 9 No 70-09) and Club Santa Fe(Calle 64 A No 38 - 08).

Bullfighting is a big deal here, perhaps not on the same scale as in Spain, but at the Plaza de Toros La Santamaria during January and February you will find hordes of people attending the spectacle. Cra 6 No 26-50

This is a great place to play mini golf at a great price. And if you go around 7pm on a Saturday, usually by then the birthday parties are finished but the teens have not yet come out in force. The only problem is the mini golf course area is enclosed. Even in the middle of winter, the space can get a little too warm for comfort, although in the summer time they at least have large fans blowing to help circulate the air.

In addition to mini golf, there is a driving range, a few video games, and a basketball area. There is also a wall of packaged snacks and a refrigerated display with beverages, should you need a little something to nosh on in the middle of play.
Bogota golf & sports center is mainly catered to the golfers in the area and has a very reasonable price for those who wish to hone their golfing skills. For about $12 you can hit a large bucket of balls and be on your merry way.

If golf isn't your thing, they also have an indoor mini golf course - it's not that great or well kept, but it's a decent place to go if you're bored with your friends.They also have batting cages and basketball hoops so if it's winter, you can come here to practice basketball.

Highly recommended for those who are into any of the four sports mentioned above. The employees are very nice and the prices won't empty your wallet either.
