Quinta Camacho is a quarter of early 20th-century brick houses in Chapinero, with front gardens, pitched English-style roofs and tree-lined sidewalks.12 Many have become offices, restaurants and cafés while keeping their character.2 Zona G, the G for Gourmet, is its restaurant neighbor.3

Together they form Bogotá's densest specialty cluster, most of it on or near Calle 70A. The range runs from Libertario's and Casa Café Cultor's roasters to Amor Perfecto's shop at Carrera 4 #66-46, which has a coffee lab on site.4

Local tip: Walk Calle 70A from Libertario at Carrera 5 to Casa Café Cultor at Carrera 9; on a cold afternoon, take a table by the gas fireplaces in Cultor's back garden.
