Drone Footage Reveals Bogotá's Forgotten Liquor Factory

Bogotá's Abandoned Liquor Factory: A Drone's-Eye View of History and Decay In the industrial zone of Bogotá, Colombia, lies the abandoned Cundinamarca Liquor Factory, a silent testament to the city's past. Kevin Bolaños' recent video offers a unique perspective on this forgotten site, using drone footage to reveal its current state of disrepair. The factory, once a bustling hub employing hundreds, moved from its original location in the city center after the events of the 'Bogotazo'. After a decade of deliberation, a new facility was constructed. The video details the factory's production, including the distillation of alcohol, the manufacture of perfumes, and the creation of alcoholic beverages such as cognac, rum, gin, and aguardiente. "The factory's move was accelerated by the events of the Bogotazo," Bolaños explains in his video, highlighting the historical significance of this relocation. The video also shows the scale of the former operation, with Bolaños noting that "around 800 people worked in three shifts." The drone footage reveals the extent of the deterioration, but the site is not completely desolate; security guards, trucks, and workers are present. Interestingly, the video captures what appears to be a film crew shooting on the premises. The video concludes with a broader reflection on abandoned places in Colombia, viewing them as 'witnesses to the history of Colombia and important events.' It's a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring legacy of industrial sites.
