§ 01 — Traveler's take
Arriving in Candelaria, I found my hostel, Masaya Bogotá, was right in the thick of it. The 24-hour front desk meant a late check-in was no issue, and the lockers in the dorms gave me peace of mind. I quickly linked up with others in the common kitchen, and we ended up doing a free walking tour of the area the next morning, which the hostel staff helped us organize. Getting around on foot was easy, and the local eateries were budget-friendly.
