About this plan
Climbing Monserrate hill is almost a must when you visit Bogotá, and doing it with a guide makes the experience richer. Instead of going on your own, a local guide shares the history of the sanctuary, the religious traditions of the country, and the small details you would normally miss.
The tour starts at the cable car ticket office. From there you ride the cable car or funicular up to 3,152 meters above sea level, then walk through the viewpoints. The city views from that height are the main highlight, and a stop at the Fallen Lord Basilica and the famous wishing well round out the experience.
The tour lasts about an hour and a half, which is enough time to soak it all in without rushing. It is an easy way to see one of the capital's top landmarks and understand why Monserrate means so much to Bogotanos.
What to expect
- Ride up by cable car or funicular
- Panoramic views of Bogotá from 3,152 m
