Beautiful panoramic view of Bogota. You can take the cable car or the funicular . Once you are up, don't forget to check out the bazaar. There are yummy food trucks at the end!

Pedro Rojo

During Chrismas Season they put a lot of lights. Espectacular if you arrive before the sunset and wait for lighting. But is awesome if lights mix with fog and dark night. Indescriptible show.

The panoramic view of the vast city below is worth the trip, but there are numerous souvenir shops through which to browse, and delicious French and Colombian restaurants to try. Read more

Amazing views of the city , it can be a challenge to climb un to the top if you’re not physically ready; BUT fortunately there are different ways to get there, it’s views were amazing; must be done!

Jenny Ung

A must-see for Bogotá visitors, such a beautiful spot to overlook the city . Get there before the sun sets and enjoy the lights at magic hour, such a lovely experience. Open late , cute idea for a date!

If you don't visit Monserrate while in Bogota, you didn't come at all. Best view and great restaurants around. It's 2,640 mt (8,660 ft) above sea level , use the cable car ride! TIP: Go on a sunny day!

Took the funicular up and the cable car down (the ticket is the same for both). Great views , plus you can get some good food at the top in the market beyond the church .

Lore Benavent

Beautiful views ! I recommend to go at the sunset so you can see the city at daytime and night time.

Carl Griffin

Best views across Bogota. Take the cable car to the top.

Steve Young

If the cable car and the furnicular are open take the cable car up so you walk downhill to the furnicular station at the top for your return

Panoramic views of the city from here. Ride the cable car/funicular rail to the summit. Restaurants at the summit include Colombian Santa Clara and French San Isidro . Could get crowded on Sundays.

Keyvan Rahmani Nazari

You must go if you are visiting Bogota, but may be very crowded and have in mind that is almost 3,200 masl so don't run and take some pics

Carl Griffin

Take the cable car to the Statue of the Fallen Christ. You will have great views of the city .

Jazid Contreras

Interesting Sanctuary located on the top of one of the very tall eastern mountains that define Bogota's skyline. The view is amazing. It's cold up there, so take a coat and a scarf with you.

Good for dates and family. The view is awesome! Better on sunny day. Make sure to apply sunblock.

Keri Culver

Gorgeous! Walk up at 6 a.m. and ride down the teleferico. At the bottom, have a fresh-squeezed mandarin juice . Nothing better! 

Julián Niño

Hiking with dudes could be a nice plan on Sunday. If you're lucky, you can gaze the whole city on a sunny day.

Gabriel Perez

Climb it!!! You will appreciate once you get to the top!!!!!!

Mike Martinez

Make sure you get plenty of pictures with a nice background of Bogota City . Try out "cuajada con arequipe"

This hike is very steep!!! Not got the faint of heart;)!!! Well worth it when you make it to the top!!! Beauty!!!

There's a restaurant near here called La Puerta Falsa, The False Door. A great place for a snack . Get the chocolate completo. Don't miss the other churches in Candelaria.

Kell

The views are amazing if you're lucky to have a sunny day.

Carla Sigales

Greatest views and the best coffee and mojavanas

Have to pay $800 peso to use the restroom .

Georgelin Fernández

El santuario está cerrado en la noche, al menos que sea diciembre, creo. En este caso, queda maravillarse con la vista de la Bogotá nocturna ó cenar en un bonito ambiente (kind of expensive, though)

Natalia Pérez

Destino no solo para turistas sino para locales. La experiencia a pie o en telesferico vale la pena vivirla. La iglesia es amplia y se celebra la misa a las 8. Se consiguen artesanías y comida típica.

Carlota Fernandez

Parada obligada pa una vista panorámica d la ciudad, recomendado subir x teleférico y bajar a pie x los senderos . Cúspide remata Iglesia c/ escultura d la Virgen de Montserrate. Atrás venta souvenirs.
