Bogotana

/ˌboʊɡoʊˈtɑnə/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, or its inhabitants and culture.

Etymology

From Spanish Bogotá (from Muisca chibcha 'Bacatá' meaning 'enclosed farmland') + Spanish feminine suffix -ana, used in English to describe things associated with a place.

Kelly Says

Bogotá sits at 8,660 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, making it one of the highest capital cities in the world—the Spanish conquistadors had to navigate nearly impossible mountain terrain to establish it in 1538!
