Comment:

 Bit of a complicated story. For the reverse lookup, Nominatim returns the
 address of the nearest object. In this case that was a school which you
 seem to have imported a while ago, even before importing all the
 administrative boundaries and town names. So, at that time the closest
 town to the school was Bogota which it got assigned as address. Then the
 school was never updated again, not even when the towns and boundaries
 appeared. So Nominatim reports still a Bogota address.

 To make a long story short, I've now updated all of Cundinamarca and the
 example above will now show the correct address. If you find similar
 anomalies in other parts of Colombia, let me know.
