• Beautiful calm oasis in busy Bogotá.
• Hard to get full benefit if you don't speak some Spanish.

“Definitely for literary types, or those who want to see a typical late nineteenth century Colombian house. The house is beautiful and has interesting photos of Silva and his family and contemporaries. There's a lovely courtyard with a fishpond and flowers and vines everywhere. A marvelous place to sit and read, write or think. There may be a cafe: sadly I can't remember as I went for a poetry event and drinks were provided free. The library is also excellent if you have Spanish and are interested in Hispanic literature. If you know London, this place is very much like a Colombian version of Keats House in Hampstead.”
