Overview

Discover all the places that make this hill a gathering point for both foreigners and Colombian people by visiting the Basílica and the Stations of the Cross path, restaurants, and coffee houses.

Understand the history of the Sanctuary and the importance of Catholicism for Colombians’ customs and traditions. Try typical Colombian snacks and plates. Learn about native fauna and flora, and the two means of transport to the hill.

In an hour and a half, our tour guide will explain to you how Monserrate became a place of pilgrimage with the construction of its first chapel in 1640 and how, over time, it also became a tourist destination due to its outstanding viewpoints of the magnanimity of Bogotá and as a hiking destination or a workout zone for those who are into exercising.

You will also make a wish in the wishing well and you will learn and discover all the superstitions, sayings and interesting facts about a must-see part of Colombia’s capital.

Our guide will take you around nine stops in which you will have a very complete view of the hill.

This tour has a suggestion of USD 8.

“A beautiful walk”

This tour was perfect, the guide was very helpful and showed us details that we wouldn't have noticed without a good guide.

“Free tour”

I saw the yellow umbrella at the bottom of the mountain. Sarah was there early and so polite. I had thought we were hiking up together, instead the tour was at the top, so I went up with the group, had the tour and walked down. Thank you for including me!

“The Guide didn't show up!”

We arrived at the meeting point at 9.30 a.m. and stayed until 10.05 a.m., but the guide didn't show up and nobody contacted us. It's lucky we arrived and had already bought the tickets, otherwise our tour would have been delayed.

“Excellent! Highly recommended”

Excellent! Nataly was explaining with great fluency and detail the history, plants, the views,...I loved the detail that the tour ended at the top, so that tourists could see what we wanted to see at our own pace after finishing the route.

“Recommended ”

Going up alone is possible, but it's much better with a guide who will tell you about the history and help you take pictures :) The 5 pm time was perfect, we saw the sunset with the whole city clear and half an hour later the night view with the lights. give Jose lots of tips!

“Bad organization”

The indications to the meeting point on google maps are totally wrong!! The link shows as meeting point the top of the mountain while the start is at the bottom… we lost the tour for this reason and the possibility to reach put the guide are zero since whatsapp is not available.
