Mount Monserrate is a place that you can’t miss if you are in the city of Bogota D.C.

Take the cable car to the Montserrat mountain - Monserrat view, is one of the special recommendations in Bogota, Colombia.
is the commanding height of the whole Bogota. You can choose to walk on foot, about 40 minutes in one way, or take the cable car, and it will take five minutes.
There is still a pilgrimage center for local believers. The road to the mountain is also known as the Cross Road, along with stories depicting the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
The white monastery on the top of the mountain can be seen in almost any corner of Bogota. And because of its unique location, it is the best view point overlooking Bogota.
At the top of the mountain, you can not only visit the top-level churches that have seen miracles in the legend, but also the entire Bogota.
Standing on the hill overlooking the city, I feel my own smallness. There is a statue of Christ in the church. There are many miracles in the legend.

It was the best experience I've ever had. Need to ride a cable car to go up the church on top of the mountain if you are not keen of walking. Too many stalls to buy souvenirs. There are great restaurants as well. #Bogota #Monserrate #cablecar #Monserratesanctuary

Monserrate Monastery, Bogota
I recommend the Monserrate observatory where you can see the view of downtown Bogota.
It was cloudy the day I went, but I think it would be better if you go on a day with good weather.
You can take the cable car or funicular,
but if you are confident in your physical strength, I recommend walking up.
Bogota itself is quite high, so it wasn't easy to climb up,
but you can climb up in about an hour, and you'll feel a sense of accomplishment. ㅎㅎㅎ
I walked up and took the cable car down (15,000 pesos one way, about 4,500 won) #Tourist attraction review
