Plaza del Chorro
Bogotá was founded in 1538 at the Plaza del Chorro de Quevedo. ‘Chorro’ means fountain, although water no longer flows here. But lots of beer does, and the plaza is the neighborhood’s nightlife center for the university student population. It’s often got a sort of bohemian atmosphere, with handicrafts, , jugglers and storytellers (and a few ganja sellers).

Lots of chicha, a fermented drink made of corn, flows around the Plaza del Chorro. Much of the chicha is prepared in the La Perseverancia neighborhood.
