Cerro de Monserrate

Paseo Bolívar con Carrera 2 Este, Bogota, Colombia
Tel: +57 1 243 8231
 

Cerro de Monserrate is of great importance for Bogota. The white church built on the mountain summit, 3,200 meters high, dominates the cityscape. Pilgrims, devoted to the Senor Caido (a statue of Christ inside the church), visit to pay their dues for the idol's generosity. The mountaintop also offers the best panoramic view of Bogota. There is a handicrafts market, good cafes and a couple of excellent restaurants with both traditional and international menus, which stay open until midnight. You can get to the top by funicular or by cable car.
