What to do in Monserrate?
Located in the heart of Bogotá, Monserrate is a destination that blends spirituality, history, and nature, creating a truly unique experience. There is so much to discover and enjoy in this magical place. Here's how to make the most of your visit:
Transportation by cable car
Take the cable car or funicular and enjoy the spectacular views of Bogotá and its surroundings. The cable car provides a stunning panoramic view of the capital, giving you the feeling of floating above the city. The funicular, on the other hand, brings you closer to nature as it glides along the rail, letting you take in the lush green of the High Andean Forest and the thrilling tunnel that cuts through the mountain.

Don't miss the Sanctuary of the Fallen Lord of Monserrate, a place of deep devotion. The church, with its elegant neocolonial style, provides an ideal setting for moments of peace and reflection. In the surrounding area, you'll find the Stations of the Cross, which depict the Passion of Christ with images brought over from Italy in the 19th century. You can also explore the trails that wind through Cerro de Monserrate, immersing yourself in the stunning beauty of the High Andean Forest. Enjoy a walk in nature, breathe fresh air, and experience a profound spiritual connection.
