  • Monserrate cablecar
    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.
  • Coffee farm
    Fragrant lovers beware: Colombia is one of the world's leading coffee producers. Only Arabica coffee is grown here. The fine variety is the trademark of this coffee stronghold. See for yourself and enjoy sweet nutty aromas directly on site at one of the numerous coffee plantations.
