Wonderful place. Take your own time and try to reach it by the stairs. Try the local food too, it's a nice experience of flavors. Spend some time in the local product stories. Definitely a must do in Bogota.

One of the places you have to go to when you visit Bogota. If you are not religious it's a great place to go to have a great sight of the city. On very clear days you can see some of the snow-capped mountains in other departments. It is quite a sight.
If you are Christian of any branch the sanctuary has very good artistic designs. One of the things that is great is the altar which has the four creatures of Ezekiel representing the four gospels.

Fantastic view, take it easy and enjoy the walk and take breaks if you need to. This is definitely one of the greatest walks I ever went for. It is a long way up where you can eat or relax or shop and after just either walk back down or take the tram down---my suggestion! Fun and an eye-opening experience. As a first-time visitor I was in a group which made it even more enjoyable. Drink water :)

I highly recommend walking up! It is hard but so rewarding. There are lots of shops along the way so you don't need to worry too much about water & snacks. It was well worth every single one of those 1500 steps.

We took the cable cart to get up to the top, and it was quiet a journey. The view outside the window was very beautiful. You can see almost the entire city when you are on the top. Beside the nice view, you can also find a street behind the church that is full of vendors. I found a number of small souvenirs at the stores and you can bargain for some good deals. Towards the end you can find food vendors as well. One gentleman on the photo below was so friendly, I recommend you visiting his food booth !

Nice experience in Bogota. Take the train up before 11:45 and take the teleférico down. 19,000 per person.

Unbelievable views of Bogota. It is a paved hike but the trail is step and there are a lot of steps. Definitely save this for a couple days into your trip because the altitude will knock you out. This was a wonderful climb and you should reward yourself with some Coca Tea or a Beer a the top.

Must do/see when in Bogotá. Can highly recommend the hike up. If you are not used to the altitude it is exhausting, but you will see people of all ages going up an down. It's well worth it. We went on a Sunday so it was busy and safe. The view from the top is great.

Must-visit place in Bogota! You can see a gorgeous view of the entire city from the top. I highly recommend walking up (if you're able to). The path to the top was recently re-opened (Apr 2017) and it's a relatively easy walk up. It's about 3KM of walking (incl. 500m of altitude). It takes about 1 hr 15min (including a few breaks). There's a huge police presence at the base of Monserrate and all the way up at every checkpoint (every 300-500m), so there are no issues with safety. We went on a Saturday and it was quite crowded. The weekend is the safest time to walk up (especially if you're going up alone). There are plenty of vendors on the way up selling water, fresh fruit and beer (only $2,000 COP = $1). :)

This is a must-see for anybody that wants to take a look at around Bogotá as well as sea of absolutely gorgeous work of architecture and construction at the top of a mountain that glorifies our Catholic faith. Take the tram up the side of the mountain and see the Glorious surroundings. Once you get up top you got restaurants shops and of course the sanctuary where you can meditate and take a moment to take a breather. You are really high up on the mountain and you got to take it easy, you're probably sucking air through your gills. No worries, there's coffee shop some teas that will help settle down your system. If you're hungry lots of restaurants awesome food and you could easily stay half a day just glorifying in the surroundings. Aside from looking down on the city of Bogotá you actually have the other side which is all the mountain top all Greenery.

Awww, I didn't know how big this city was till I got to the top. Best views around of Bogotá. Be sure to bring that extra jacket because it gets chilly at the top

Awesome views of the city! Two ways to get here: walk or tram.

If you walk- be careful of robbers. Go with a group if possible.

What a beautiful landmark. Couple pointers, don't walk up as there is a high likelihood of being mugged. Also, it is much colder up top than down below so dress accordingly. The church is beautiful, the little restaurant is a great place to hang out for a bit and the view of the city can't be beat!
