Field notes

Sitting at 2,640m altitude — perpetual spring weather, but rapid altitude adjustment can be tough. Chapinero (especially Quinta Camacho and El Chicó) is the nomad anchor. Same Colombia DNV as Medellín.

Sitting at 2,640m altitude — perpetual cool-spring weather (~14°C all year). Dry season (Dec–Feb, Jun–Aug) is bright and sunny; rainy season (Mar–May, Sep–Nov) means daily afternoon rain. Altitude headaches are real the first few days.
