Itinerary description
Nederlands
De Monserrate is een van de bekendste toppen rondom de Colombiaanse hoofdstad Bogota. Met de Cerro de Guadalupe vormt de berg van 3260 meter hoogte de oostelijke grens van La Candelaria, het historische centrum van de stad. Op de top van de in de Cordillera Oriental gelegen berg (cerro betekent eigenlijk "heuvel") staat naast een uitzichtpunt met vergezichten over de hele stad een klooster.
English
Monserrate (after Catalan homonym mountain Montserrat) is a mountain that dominates the city center of Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. It rises to 3,152 metres (10,341 ft) above the sea level, where there is a church (built in the 17th century) with a shrine, devoted to "El Señor Caído" (Fallen Lord).
The hill is a pilgrim destination, as well as a tourist attraction. In addition to the church, the summit contains restaurants, cafeteria, souvenir shops and many smaller tourist facilities. Monserrate can be accessed by aerial tramway, a funicular or by climbing, the preferred way of pilgrims.
All downtown Bogotá, south Bogotá and some sections of the north of the city are visible facing west, making it a popular destination for watching the sun set over the city.
