I've just found this spider in my kitchen:

I didn't dare to get closer to it.

Thanks in advance.

Most likely a huntsman spider (family Sparassidae) - http://farm1.staticflickr.com/168/430666836_2db0590cef_z.jpg
Bite painful but not dangerous.

It was definitely a huntsman spider.

Thanks a lot, Flapdoodle.

You're welcome - I visited Bogotá in the mid-1980s - imagine it's changed a bit since then...
