Narrative: Most approaches and departures into BOG are made to Runways 13L/R. On this day we had briefed ILS to 13R due to 13L being closed. Weather over the field was VFR. When initially contacting BOG Approach we received the first of a number of vectors and instructions to reduce airspeed; not unusual for BOG. Ultimately we were cleared to hold at VULAM and given an Expect Further Clearance (EFC) of approximately 15 minutes after entering holding. During that holding period; the BOG landing operation was changed to a north operation; landing and departing on Runway 31L. Weather over the airfield remained VFR; but outside of the immediate field vicinity and in the holding pattern; the weather was broken cumulonimbus clouds; obscuring both visibility and the terrain. While the FO flew I entered the FMC and attempted to locate an approach to Runway 31L. None was located although our Jeppesen pages include a VOR-C 31L. That approach is simply this: proceed from the BOG VOR outbound on the 123 radial to 12 DME. That positions your aircraft abeam the airfield on a downwind leg; hopefully VFR because no minimums or Missed Approach procedure is published. I built that procedure in the FMC; but we were expecting a vector from the holding pattern. When cleared to depart holding we were given the option of flying the VOR-C 31L or the RNAV 31L. Since we were not going to receive radar vectors; there are no published approaches to either Runway 31Lor 31R; and fuel was becoming an issue; I elected to fly the 'built' VOR-C approach. We flew the approach to a VFR position abeam the field uneventfully; until on final. We were 4 NM behind landing traffic and; upon rolling out on final (at about 4NM) were told by Tower to slow to minimum speed for departing traffic. We were already at minimum approach speed so discussed go around procedures and options since the departing traffic was just entering the runway. We attempted to get missed approach instructions from the Tower; but were told to continue. At about 200 feet I instructed the FO to go around and; without other guidance; entered SOA into the FMC and instructed the FO to climb to 13;000 feet. He performed the go around and we initiated a left turn towards SOA; Tower finally instructing us to do the same. We contacted Approach Control again; were directed to level off at 12;000 feet and were vectored back to the BOG VOR where we flew the same VOR-C procedure again; uneventfully; to a landing.
