Today, Bogotá celebrated its 473rd anniversary (altho the exact date was yesterday, August 6) with a parade, or comparsa, down Carrera Septima.

| Gladiator guys. |
 |
| Girl gladiators fight it out! |
 |

 |
| Monkey men on the their way home. |
 |
| In nearby Third Millenium Park a father and son fly a kite. August is known as 'kite month' in Bogotá. |
 |
| Bad kids, or just suspicious-looking? |
 |
| La Candelaria resident Santos parades with the rest. |
 |
| In the evening, selling balloons on Plaza Bolívar. |
 |
| In the cold evening wind, these three people took refuge in a cathedral doorway. |
