Hi everyone, I'm Edwin Ramirez and today I want to talk to you about one of the most emblematic places in the city of Bogotá.

I'm talking about Monserrate Hill, one of the most emblematic tourist destinations in Colombia, attracting both devotees and visitors, offering a unique experience where spirituality, nature and culture come together.

At Monserrate, each sunrise and sunset turns the landscape into a breathtaking spectacle, filling the sky with vibrant colors and offering the best views of the city, making it the perfect way to begin and end your day with a touch of magic.

It is considered a traditional place of religious pilgrimage in the city because at its peak rests a sanctuary dating from the year 1640 and which houses the statue of the Fallen Lord of Monserrate, a Christ who according to faithful and devotees performs miracles.

Monserrate is located more than 3 thousand meters above sea level, which represents a challenge for those who decide to climb to the top.

But if climbing 1,605 steps is not your thing, you can reach the top by funicular or aerial tramway; a more pleasant and faster way, even if you lose contact with nature.

But if climbing six hundred and five steps is not your thing, you can reach the top by funicular or aerial tramway; in a more pleasant and faster way, even if you lose contact with nature.

Monserrate is a place that transmits peace to its visitors, whether you come there for tourism, to see the city from the height of the hill or to fulfill a promise; People usually make promises to the fallen lord of Monserrate and climb the hill kneeling, on their backs, carrying a family member; In short, in many ways to fulfill their promise; There are also those who climb every Sunday to play sports and breathe fresh air.

Personally, I think that Monserrate is a magical place, you can be surprised by seeing how big the city of Bogotá is, experience the contrast between the city and nature, visit the basilica and let yourself be invaded by its peace and tranquility.

If you are in Bogotá, you must visit Monserrate, you can see it from many parts of the city, but the wonderful thing is to see the city from the top of the hill.

Thanks, see you soon
