Is there anything like Mapquest.com for Bogota???

Im trying to see where some hotels are located in the city. I haven't had any luck finding interactive maps (or any street maps) of Bogota. Anyone know of any?? Thanks!

Killing two birds w/ one stone......... I am doing paperwork for my marriage visa so I can marry in Colombia this december. How should I go about translating my documents into spanish?

Yellow Pages - Paginas Amarillas Look up translators in the yellow pages, they must be recognized by the governing body (not just someone who knows both languages); if you ask nicely the embassy may recommend someone aswell. I had to translate all of my school grades when I moved to Colombia in order to finish school and that is what I did. I am assuming the same applies to the documents you have as they are legal documents.

The consulate said... When I called the Colombian Consulate in Chicago, the guy said that the translation didnt have to be by any certain person, it just had to be a good translation.

But if I were to find a translater "recognized by the governing body" does that mean that some translators are licensed by the State?
