Monserrate Hill cable car ride with panoramic city views

A cable car lifts you up Monserrate Hill, which rises above Bogota. At the top you see the endless rooftops of the city, neighbourhoods climbing the Andean slopes and a small church on the summit. The scale of the capital only makes sense from here.

Bogota sits high and the hill higher still, so walk slowly, drink water and pause if you feel short of breath. The air cools quickly up there, so bring a jacket. In the morning, with less cloud, the view reaches further. The cable car ride itself is short and easy.
