Lonely Planet review

This country mansion and garden at the foot of the Cerro de Monserrate was given to Simón Bolívar in 1820 who used it as a retreat. Like many things connected with the independence hero, it was later declared a national monument and turned into a museum. The house is filled with his possessions, documents, weapons, maps, uniforms and medals.
