cable car, train. Bogota is 2640 meters above sea level and even higher above the city, at 3152 meters, towers a mountain with a sacred church, Monserrate Monastery and beautiful views of the city. There are three ways to get to the top of the mountain: funicular (cable railway), cable car (gondola), or active travelers can walk. If walking, for security it’s best to go on the weekends when there is more traffic.

A great way to spend a day is to take the turistren to Zipaquira and then a bus for the short trip to the Salt Cathedral built 600 feet underground in a former salt mine. There is a basilica dome, chandeliers and an enormous, floor-to-ceiling cross illuminated with purple lights. It took 127 miners and sculptors many years to carve the latest cathedral.
