Once a river at the boundary of colonial Santa Fe, the Avenida Jiménez would later become the epicenter of the 1948 Bogotazo riots. After an ingenious intervention in the late 1990s, this historic avenue has never looked better. Sights include the Gold Museum, the Quinta Bolívar, colonial churches, architectural gems and high above the Colombian capital - Monserrate. There's a little shopping and ice cream, along the way too.
