| Funicular |
I made my way to
Montserrate, a mountain that dominates the city of
Bogota, and rises 3,152m above sea level, where a cathedral is located on top. The hill is a pilgrim destination, as well as a tourist attraction.
Being lazy, I decided to take the funicular up, and then take the walking path down later. The funicular ride was not as pleasant compared to the other funiculars I had taken in other places, as it was extremely squeezy, and one could hardly see the view of the city within the funicular due to the crowd. It was a great relief when the doors opened upon our arrival, where I could once again take a proper breather.

It was fairly crowded when I was there, possibly due to the upcoming long weekend, and I was surprised to see more than just a cathedral at the top - there were quite a few shops, and food stalls and even an area at the back, which seems like there might be some upcoming developments in the area.
The view at the top was amazing though, as one can look down and see the expansive
Bogota city spreading for miles away.
I slowly made my way down the windy and uneven steps, and took in the view as I made my way down. I was extremely glad I had not taken the walking trail up, as just to come down, it took me almost an hour!
Definitely a must to visit in
Bogota!
