Tour description

Join me to visit the most famous hill in Bogotá, the Monserrate hill, and create unforgettable memories in the midst of its impressive greenery.

We will go up by cable car or funicular to 3,152 meters to discover a mountain that preserves the ancestral magic of its first inhabitants , who worshiped the sun and felt that they touched the sky with their hands.
At the summit you will learn why Monserrate is said to be a sacred site for Bogotans and has become a place of faith and culture for locals and foreigners.
From here you can enjoy the best view of the capital of Colombia and frame the moment in a photo to share with everyone.

Touring this place is easy and fun for adults and children. When we return, we will say goodbye enjoying the typical flavors of the city of Bogotá.
