At the top, you’ll have plenty of time to wander through the markets and gift shops full of hand-made souvenirs from different parts of the country. You’ll also explore the beautiful 17th-century Monserrate Monastery with El Señor Caído (“The Fallen Lord”) shrine. Before making your way back down the hill to your waiting transportation, you'll be able to choose once again to take the teleferico (aerial tramway) or the funicular for the wonderful views.

About Bogotá

Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.

La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.

Top-ranked sights in Bogotá: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum (Museo Botero), Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
