Lonely Planet review

To get a view of Bogotá from dizzying heights take the teleférico (cable car) or funicular to the top of Cerro de Monserrate (3160m/10,400ft), the mountain overlooking the city center. On Sunday it's a popular local pilgrimage to the church on the summit, which displays a statue of the Señor Caído (Fallen Christ), to which many miracles have been attributed. It's also busy from dawn til about every morning, crowded with local joggers and dog-walkers.

It's an easy walk from the city center to the lower station, from where you can take the teleférico or funicular railway - otherwise it's a one-hour walk up.
