Monserrate in Bogota

Monserrate - Bogota, Colombia

While in Bogota be sure to take a trip to Monserrate. There's a funicular going to the top as well as a cable car. The cable car is probably more thrilling since it goes through a tunnel. Walking is NOT recommended at all since it's not particularly safe unless you're with a big enough group to feel comfortable.

You may want to bring a jacket too since it's usually much colder at the top - 3k meters of elevation!

Finally, after you're done, start at the funicular base station and walk south to Finca de Simon Bolivar to check out the modest dwelling of the hero to many modern Latins (particularly Mr Chavez of Venezuela). For those of you not in the know, Bolivar is known for pushing the Spanish out and is therefore a hero to many progressive Latins.
