Parque Mirador de los Nevados

This guide to Parque Mirador de los Nevados in Bogotá asks how a raw stone quarry on a Suba hilltop, cut into ground the Muisca people had once farmed and buried their dead on since before 1538, became one of the city's most meaningful parks. You'll hear how the quarry ran from around 1950 until the district shut it in 1997, and how Universidad Nacional de Colombia then took on an unusual plan for the abandoned scar. Look for the plaza named for the sun, and for the three snow peaks lined up along the horizon.
