    The local mountain Monserrate with its church Santuario de Monserrate is visible from everywhere in the city and is considered a popular destination for excursions. You can reach the summit by cable car or a 50-minute hike and enjoy a spectacular view over the seemingly endless expanse of the city from here.
  • Coffee farm
    Colombia's first wonder of the world is only an hour away from Bogotá. The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá lies underground and was once built by miners as a place of worship. A day trip is best combined with a detour to the Guatavita Lagoon.
