Since the last 11 years the security in Colombia have changed dramatically “We are happy of that :)” and the international airport of Bogotá today is considerate as one of the safest in latin America with 6.000 cameras and police officers around of it, However are very few guys who try good luck to rob the luggage which are meters away of the owners or left alone for minutes by its owners (No very usual)

Can I sleep at the international airport?

Certainly not. You can´t sleep as in bed because this airport doesn´t have beds or reclining seats (But some already are reclined).
