Business in Bogota hit by protests

Life in Colombian capital disrupted as unrest continues for second week

It was 6 pm on Nov 27 in Bogota when Javier, a supervisor at a seafood restaurant on the outskirts of Colombia's capital, asked his boss to close early. Since Nov 21, disruptions caused by a week of civil unrest and protests have left employees struggling to make the commute home.

The retail and hospitality sectors have paid the biggest price for the protests.
