🇨🇴 Bogotá vs 🇺🇸 Santa Fe

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.

Santa Fe at 7,199 feet is the highest state capital in the US and has a mountain climate unlike any other southwestern city. Summers are pleasant with afternoon monsoon thunderstorms over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains providing dramatic lightning shows. Winters bring real snow, and the clean dry air at elevation gives Santa Fe its famous quality of light.
