15 MAY 2009 Bad Reputation, Great Destination: Bogota: This walkable metropolis of seven million is once again reclaiming its role as Latin America's intellectual and cultural hub THE HEADLINES For well over a decade, few cities in the Americas inspired as much bad press as Bogotá, Colombia. More than the capital of a country, it was a capital of crime, murder, kidnapping, and bombs; a place where the cartels dispatched their drugs, paramilitaries trafficked weapons, and leftist rebels set their sights. The guerrillas welcomed current president Álvaro Uribe with a series of homemade mortar attacks on his inauguration in 2002, leaving 21 people dead in a slum near the palace.
