What a Bogata IP address tells you
Everything PeeringDB records for Bogata is one exchange. BGP.Exchange - Bogata has 22 participants, and those 22 are the city's whole peer count in the registry. No facility is listed against this entry, so there is no colocation footprint to weigh against the exchange. The exchange record carries no carrier ASNs either, so no Colombian mobile operator is recorded peering there, and the carrier registry's mobile ASNs for Claro (AS26611), Tigo (AS27831) and WOM (AS271773) appear nowhere in its participant list, while Movistar has no mobile ASN at all.
An address that geolocates to Bogata may be announced from anywhere the operator runs its network. The city in a lookup comes from the address block's registry record, which carries one location for an allocation that can cover a whole country. Mobile operators concentrate subscriber traffic through a handful of gateways, so a single published city can stand behind addresses used by devices across many departments. The record describes registration, not distance.
With no facilities recorded and one exchange of 22 participants, the city name here says little about where hardware is. Reading the origin ASN and the netname on the specific prefix is more informative, since it shows which network announces the block and under what registered name. PeeringDB carries this exchange under the spelling Bogata, which is the form the registry record holds for the city entry.

Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Bogata?
PeeringDB records one, BGP.Exchange - Bogata, with 22 participants. That exchange is the only network presence the registry holds under this city name, and no colocation facilities are listed against the entry.
Do Colombian mobile carriers peer in Bogata?
The exchange record shows no carrier ASNs, so Claro (AS26611), Tigo (AS27831) and WOM (AS271773) have no participant entry at BGP.Exchange - Bogata, and Movistar has no mobile ASN in the carrier registry. Absence from PeeringDB is not proof that traffic avoids the city.
Does an IP that geolocates to Bogata mean the device is there?
No. Geolocation databases read the location an operator publishes for an address block, and one block can serve a wide area. With mobile addresses the gateway rather than the handset decides which city a lookup returns, so treat the origin ASN as the better signal.
