I had the opportunity to be in this wonderful and quiet place, where you can walk through beautiful gardens, wide corridors of colonial architecture and stone columns, a fantastic museum where valuable antiques and oil paintings are preserved and of course, it's cozy church where there is a beautiful architecture and paintings by different artists and painters from the colonial era.

Due to its strategic location in the top of the hill, it's cold weather, sometimes with thick fog at dawn. It has very well maintained and extensive water channels, where its sound voraciously attract the curious visitor who delights in the midst of such peace.

Debido a su estratégica ubicación en lo alto del cerro, es de lima frío, a veces con espesas neblinas al amanecer. Tiene unos cauces de agua muy bien cuidados y extensos, donde su sonido atrae vorazmente al curioso visitante que se deleita en medio de tanta paz.

This place can be reached on foot, by cable car or funicular depending on the availability of each person's time and the weather.

Very good restaurants and places to rest after the long walk.

And can't miss the "Canelazo", a delicious hot drink called ideal for when the weather is cold and rainy.

Su actividad económica más importante es el turismo, debido a las visitas que se realizan por diferentes grupos y familias que se sienten atraídas por la magia de este bello lugar y que desean también, adquirir llamativos recuerdos artesanales, tejidos y alfarería que tienen en sus pasillos.

From the hill os Monserrate it's possible to appreciate a beautiful panoramic view of the Bogotá city.

Desde el cerro de Monserrate es posible apreciar una hermosa panorámica de la ciudad de Bogotá.

The view that Monserrate has of Bogotá, the faith they evoke, their shrine and every stone that was put there with a purpose, Its pilgrims, its gardens and fountains, its gastronomy, its cloud forest, its sunsets, its starry nights and its majestic moon make the experience of visiting Monserrate unique.

La vista que desde Monserrate se tiene de Bogotá, la fe que evocan, su santuario y cada piedra que puesta allí con un propósito, sus peregrinos, sus jardines y fuentes, su gastronomía, sus bosques de niebla, sus atardeceres, sus noches estrelladas y su luna majestuosa hacen única la experiencia de visitar Monserrate.
