Since the 16th century, bullfighting has been popular in Colombia. After Colombia’s independence, this tradition was preserved and became a part of people’s lives. If you want to enjoy an exciting bullfight in Colombia, you need to visit the Santamaría Bullring in Bogotá.

The Santamaría Bullring is located in the capital of Colombia, Bogotá, and was built in 1931. It was established by the farmer Ignacio Sanz de Santamaria, who donated his land for its construction, hence the bullring was named after him. The bullring can accommodate 14,500 spectators, and on match days, it is always crowded with people cheering for the bullfighters. Outside the bullring, there is a statue of Pepe Cáceres, the most famous bullfighter in Colombia, known for being the most outstanding and excellent bullfighter in the country, earning him great respect from the public.
