🇨🇴 The truth is revealed at the top｜A guide to climbing the 3,100-meter sacred mountain Monserrate in Bogota

#7月發文留言活动2025 When you come to Bogota, the capital of Colombia, if there is one attraction you must visit, it is definitely the Monserrate Mountain Observation Deck and Church, which is located at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. Whether you want to see the panoramic view of the city, religious pilgrimage, or simply want to experience the feeling of "high altitude breathing difficulty", this mountain is worth a visit. 🗓️ Advance preparation is recommended: buy the tickets first! Don't queue up stupidly on the spot - be sure to go to the official website of Monserrate to buy tickets in advance (remember it is the official website to avoid buying high-priced tickets). The website supports commonly used payment tools in China such as WeChat and Alipay, which is very friendly to travelers. ✅ Sunday ticket prices are more favorable: for example, a round-trip cable car for two people only costs about 56 RMB, which will be much more expensive on weekdays. 🎟️ On-site ticket purchase location: Taquilla Funicular Monserrate (Mountain Train Ticket Office) 🚡 What to take? Cable car vs. mountain train detailed comparison: Many travelers cannot tell the difference between these two modes of transportation. Let me explain it to you in one go: 1. The boarding location is the same, but the disembarkation location is different 　　- 🚡 Cable car: directly arrives at a location close to the observation deck and the church, and you can take photos almost as soon as you get off the car. 　　- 🚂 Mountain train: After getting off the train, you need to walk an extra 5 to 10 minutes to reach the main viewing point. 2. Completely different queuing experience 　　- 🚡 The cable car is crowded and you need to queue up several times (queue to enter, queue to board, etc.) 　　- 🚂 Most small trains are available as you go, with large carriages and fast movement, which is very suitable for travelers who hate waiting 3. Differences in scenery and physical sensations along the way 　　- 🚡 The scenery is transparent and unobstructed, with excellent aerial views, suitable for taking photos 　　- 🚂 It is relatively closed and the scenery is limited, but it is suitable for people who are afraid of heights and those who are prone to dizziness 🏞️ How is the experience after reaching the top? 🌇 With a wide view, you can overlook the whole Bogota and the distant mountains, and even see the magnificent Tyndall rays of sunlight shining through the clouds 🏘️ The densely packed red tile roofs at the foot of the mountain are full of Latin American style 📷 There is a large "Bogotá" landmark on the top of the mountain for photo-taking ⛪ A white church is located in the middle, with simple architecture and no special design inside 🍽️ Introduction to the facilities of the observation deck There are two mountaintop restaurants for dining, with medium prices and excellent views 🚻 There is a toilet (about 1,000 pesos are required, no toilet paper is provided, please bring your own) 🌬️ High altitude precautions This place is located above 3,100 meters above sea level. Some travelers may have mild altitude reactions, such as rapid breathing, dizziness, etc. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise Clothing suggestions: The temperature on the mountain is low, it is recommended to bring a thin jacket; if you climb in the evening, you must pay attention to keeping warm ✅ Summary and recommendation If you want to enjoy the most spectacular city view with the least effort and the least queue, Monserrate is definitely a classic itinerary you cannot miss in Bogota. Whether it is surrounded by clouds in the early morning or in the afterglow of the evening, this mountain will leave you with unforgettable memories.
