Metroji clue #61

Bogotá in five emoji

Colombia

A capital at 2,640 metres, which means it is cool all year despite sitting close to the equator. The mountains along the eastern edge stop the city expanding that way.

What each emoji refers to

Around eight million people on a high plateau, with the old centre at La Candelaria still intact.
Colombian coffee is nearly all arabica grown on slopes, which is why so much of it is picked by hand.
Botero gave a large part of his collection to the city, including his own inflated figures and works he had bought.
Colombia has more bird species than any other country, somewhere close to two thousand.
Monserrate sits on the ridge above the centre and is reached by funicular, cable car, or a long walk up steps.
