Wow, 60 second takeoff roll... that's like the trans-Pacific takeoff rolls from the 1970s.

yes "only" 34000 pounds per engine, but A343's has not 2 but 4 of them and keep in mind that is lighter than B772. So, no more thrust is needed. At least is enough thrust to take it off, and carry it out 14000Km at 950Km/h with 300 people on board+cargo payload.

No, tropical air is thicker than colder air, because 2 reasons: higher oxigen composition (%), and higher humidity. But Bogota, is 2600 meters above sea level, so bogota's air is considerer as a cold one even if it's in a tropical country (15°C in average). So, less oxigen leads less combustion capacity, so less thrust and longer runways are needed. That's why bogota ElDorado has one of the longest runways in the world.

considering the altitude and weight of this A340 at takeoff, it will take this long to takeoff from Eldorado

In aviation terms, Bogota is 8400 feet above sea level. At that altitude there is only about 75% of sea level pressure (density) which means the engines only produce around 75% of sea level thrust. (Slightly more because they were likely down-rated a little). Less thrust, slower acceleration, more runway, lower climb angle.
