Home Exchange in Bogotá
No verified homes listed in Bogotá yet — the first hosts get priority placement.
Bogotá wakes to the smell of arepas on street corners and the clink of tinto cups in La Candelaria's cobbled plazas. At 2,640 metres, the air is thin and the light is sharp, turning the brick facades of Chapinero rose-gold by late afternoon. This is a city that rewards the long stay: the rhythm of Sunday ciclovía when Séptima closes to cars, the quiet mornings in Usaquén's market, the way neighbours linger over almuerzo in barrios where tourists rarely venture. The homes below open the door to that altitude, that light, and those Sunday mornings.

Frequently asked questions
How does home exchange on SwappaHome work?
You list your home, then swap into work-ready places worldwide. Hosting earns 1 credit per night; spending a credit books 1 night anywhere in the network. No money changes hands between members. Join with LinkedIn — that's how we know you're a real person.
Is it safe to swap homes with strangers?
Everyone joins with LinkedIn, so you meet people with real names and professional profiles — not anonymous accounts. All conversations stay inside SwappaHome. Homes are reviewed before they go live, and after each stay guests and hosts leave mutual reviews. For extra peace of mind, we recommend a video call before you confirm a swap.
Do I need to swap directly with the same person?
No. SwappaHome uses a credit system, not direct 1-to-1 swaps. You can host a family from Berlin and use the credits you earn to stay with a completely different host in Tokyo six months later. It makes travel dates, destinations and group sizes much easier to match.
Can I join if I don't own a home?
Yes — you can earn credits by hosting in a spare room, a long-term rental (if your lease allows guests) or by gifting/receiving credits from other members. You can also buy a starter pack if you want to travel before you host. Listing your primary home is the most common path, but it's not the only one.
Which neighbourhoods in Bogotá feel most local?
Chapinero offers tree-lined streets, independent bookshops, and a young, creative energy. La Candelaria is the colonial heart—cobblestones, murals, university students—but can feel touristy by day. Usaquén, to the north, has a village feel with its Sunday flea market and quiet residential blocks. Teusaquillo is middle-class Bogotá at its most everyday: parks, panaderías, families. Each sits at a different altitude and mood, but all share the same thin air and that particular Andean quality of light.
