🇨🇴 Bogotá vs 🇺🇸 Saint Paul

Subtropical highland — mild and cloudy year-round, two rainy seasons

Bogotá sits at 8,660 feet (2,640m) above sea level — the world's third highest capital city. Its altitude creates mild, spring-like temperatures year-round (55–65°F). The major challenge is altitude sickness on arrival and two rainy seasons.

Saint Paul is Minneapolis's twin city on the Mississippi River, the state capital, and home to the famous Winter Carnival celebrating rather than suffering through the extreme cold. The Mississippi River valley location means significant river fog and cold air pooling in the valley while the bluffs above stay clearer. St. Paul gets slightly colder winters than Minneapolis due to its more eastern and valley-bottom position.
