Bogota Colombia: Monserrate Mountain from the bottom to the top!

In this video I'm taking you on a tour of one of Colombia's most popular tourist attraction, Monserrate. As you look up from anywhere in the city, it is impossible not to stumble upon Monserrate hill, from its 3,152 meters above sea level, guarding the city of Bogota.

When Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada chose the place to found Santa Fe, he was struck by the two huge hills that surrounded the plain. Taking advantage of the mystery and the majestic presence of those hills, he placed two large crosses at its top. A century later, Don Juan de Borja, President of the New Kingdom of Granada, authorized Don Pedro Solis de Valenzuela in 1640 to build a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Morena de Montserrat, whose Sanctuary is located in the province of Barcelona in Spain

This is part of my journey to travel to Mexico and South American. I hope that you will join and follow me while I explore different areas.
