The really wonderful thing about seeing how traditions are maintained, is that shared memory by most people who enjoyed Christmas in Bogotá, or who at some time walked through the seventh avenue holding their parents’ hand. You probably walk the same route now as an adult with your loved ones. Like Diego, who fondly remembers every time he went to Monserrate to see his city lightened up.

This is how public lighting ceases to be something technical to become a valuable feeling to be shares on these dates. Regardless of age, social class or gender, enjoying the different city areas from El Tunal Park to Simón Bolívar Park.

“One of the most traditional plans here in Bogotá and that I believe all the people who spend time in the city have enjoyed is to visit the street lighting located in the Environmental Axis on the 26th street or in Zona T”

– Diego Olaya, Bogotá inhabitant.

At Christmas, the places visited during the year change completely with that magical harmony; streets, parks and even shopping centers provide different and valuable experiences.

That is why at Enel-Codensa we believe that the Christmas energy grows with you and your loved ones; so if your favorite childhood plan was to go through Bogotá to see all the lights, now you can do it even with friends. Isn’t that the ideal excuse to see who you love and enjoy all the activities in the city?
