Photo quests in Bogotá

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Bogotá holds 21 quests across six categories, led by Food with six — though only just, with five in Party behind it. The one category with nothing in Bogotá so far is Beach.

Three of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 18 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers 16 of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Party is the group where the hour decides everything: the same address is a landmark at midnight and an empty street at six. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Bogotá quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The three quests in Bogotá the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Bogotá

How many photo quests are there in Bogotá?
21, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (6), Party (5) and Nature (4). Nothing in Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Cementerio Central, Santa María del Lago and Virgilio Barco.
What is there to do in Bogotá beyond the obvious?
3 of the 21 quests in Bogotá are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Bogotá holds three at tier 1, two at tier 2 and 16 at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Santa María del Lago, Virgilio Barco and Bandeja paisa, which fall under Nature, Art and Food.
Can you do all the Bogotá quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 21 falls within 6.8 km of the middle of the Bogotá list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Bogotá quests can you do for free?
18 of the 21 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 21 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Bogotá means three quests: Santa María del Lago, Virgilio Barco and Bandeja paisa.
How do I prove I visited a place in Bogotá?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Bogotá is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Cementerio Central fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Bogotá sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
