Mount Monserrate is a place that you can’t miss if you are in the city of Bogota D.C. Getting there is pretty easy as it is located in downtown and all drivers know where is located or you can stay in nearby hotels. It’s a place that is worthy to see both: during day and night time as the lights makes the place look stunning. There is a lot of walking and climbing to do if you want to properly explore the place. So plan ahead to dress comfortably specially good walking shoes and WATER! #createwithtrip #colombia #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

Guatavita Lake is one of the largest and most beautiful parks in the city of Guatavita. As this landmark is very far from the nearest city, you need to arrange private transportation to get there or buy a half day tour which is quite popular. This tour will arrange round trip transportation in comfortable buses. Once you arrive to this place you might want to spend three or four hours to include the hike, stops for drinking water, break, and picture time. This place is surrounded just with nature and fresh air. There are many trail options which are serene, peaceful, not crowded, lush green and an easy to hike. The hike could be challenging only in the case you are not used to high altitudes. There is so much history involved in this place so you might need a tour guide to know all details or talk to local people. #createwithtrip #colombia #guatavita #guatavitalake

Take the cable car to the Montserrat mountain - Monserrat view, is one of the special recommendations in Bogota, Colombia. is the commanding height of the whole Bogota. You can choose to walk on foot, about 40 minutes in one way, or take the cable car, and it will take five minutes. There is still a pilgrimage center for local believers. The road to the mountain is also known as the Cross Road, along with stories depicting the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. The white monastery on the top of the mountain can be seen in almost any corner of Bogota. And because of its unique location, it is the best view point overlooking Bogota. At the top of the mountain, you can not only visit the top-level churches that have seen miracles in the legend, but also the entire Bogota. Standing on the hill overlooking the city, I feel my own smallness. There is a statue of Christ in the church. There are many miracles in the legend.

Walking through the old city of Bogota, the colorful faades line the cobblestone streets of Bogota's colonial center. It is a pleasant walk. Bolivar Square is the most important square in the city and the starting point for perfect travel. To say that in Bogota, it is leisurely and free, because everything is the original appearance of life, full of color and not artificial. From colonial architecture to trendy bars, every neighborhood in Bogota is full of energy and has a very special energy. Visit the famous San Alberto cafe in Bogota and participate in the tasting of their molecular coffee making process. The good coffee can also be extended to a better taste in many ways~ All their coffee beans are carefully cultivated by the farmers, artificially picked to achieve the best results, harvest the best boutique beans. 365 days a year, they have 40 weeks to manage the coffee tree. From weeding and fertilizing, we must always check whether the coffee tree has patients, and also pay attention to climate change, the renewal of coffee trees, and the treatment of old trees. This is to ensure that the harvested coffee meets the quality standards. tried a variety of coffee products in various preparation methods, all have a good taste.

#Tourist attraction bundle Today, I would like to recommend tourist attractions in Bogota that you can visit as a one-day trip. Where are they? Let's go see. 1. Catedral Primada de Bogata is an old church in the Plaza de Bolivar area. The architecture is influenced by Europe. Inside, there is a beautiful and very large church. 2. Plaza de Bolivar is a center of European-influenced architecture. There are both churches and government offices. 3. Monserrate is a mountain. You have to take a cable car up. I recommend buying a cable car ticket in advance because there are a lot of people. And going up may be a little ear-splitting because it is very high. 4. Calle de Embudo in La Candelaria is a pedestrian street. It is a center of beautiful street art. There are also many shops.

#HotelReview Today I would like to recommend a hotel in the heart of Bogota, Colombia. This hotel is located in Parque 93, an area with many restaurants, a public park, and is close to tourist attractions in the city. This hotel is quite good, with a nice atmosphere. On the top floor, there is a swimming pool and a Turkish sauna for use. The rooms are very beautiful, spacious, and have a good atmosphere. However, the service is a bit slow. Other than that, overall it is good. If anyone has a chance to visit Colombia, don't forget to try staying here.
