Information      
Avenida Chile photoRosales is a wealthy suburb in Bogotá. It is located in the Chapinero district. The suburb is a sprawling area of high-class red brick highrises. Access to this neigbourhood is from Carrera Septima (7th Avenue) and a winding highway called La Circunvalar. The boundaries of the neighborhood are Calle 68-98 (north-south) and Carrera 7-1 Este (east-west).

The neighorhood was originally home to affluent large homes up until the late 1970's. Families began selling their estates to reap large sums of money on multi-family dwellings. The large, red-brick highrises offered high class Bogotanos with better security and a residence that was easier to maintain. Rosales is home to many embassies as it has easy access to both the North and Downtown Bogotá with its proximity to Carrera Septima and La Circunvalar. Another asset of Rosales is numerous parks and creeks that flow down from the Andean mountains. These creeks add fresh scent and relaxing sound to the sometimes hectic city of Bogotá..
