# Monserrate

Outdoors & play · La Candelaria & Centro, Bogotá, Colombia · 4.605673, -74.055526

> The one tourist activity that you just have to do in Bogotá. If you're okay at the altitude and haven't suffered since arriving, I recommend hiking up and taking the cable car down. If you can't or don't want to hike in the morning, still take the cable car up: the view at the top is spectacular, and the air is very pure.
