Bogotá, Colombia
Quinta Camacho is the quieter part of Chapinero with embassies and residential streets. It's safe and has some good dining, but less nightlife than central Chapinero. Good middle ground if you want safety without total isolation.
Quinta Camacho is the diplomatic neighborhood where embassy staff and wealthy colombians live in tree-lined streets with nice cars and small dogs. The Netherlands Embassy being located here means excellent security presence and street lighting that stays on late into the night. Restaurants and bars cater to the embassy crowd, so English is commonly spoken and service is professional and polished. The neighborhood gets quite quiet after 10pm when residents head inside, giving it more of a residential feel than a nightlife destination. But that quiet comes with genuine safety - you can walk around alone here without worrying, even late at night. When you want more action, Chapinero is just a 10-minute walk away. Think of it as a safe, upscale base where you can retreat after exploring livelier parts of the city.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Teusaquillo is a quiet government district that's safe but pretty boring. Good for staying somewhere local and inexpensive, but you'll spend a lot of time in taxis getting to restaurants and nightlife in other neighborhoods.
Zona G is Bogotá's restaurant district with some excellent dining options. It's safe and central but quite expensive and focused mainly on food. Good for a special dinner, not really a place to hang out or explore.
Zona Rosa is the expensive nightlife district where you'll pay tourist prices but feel safer than in most of Bogotá. It's very commercial and not particularly Colombian in feel, but if safety is your main concern for going out at night, this is your best bet.
