Explore Authentic Bogotá in the Mountains

Tour was booked at the last minute and still accepted by the tour company. The tour guide spoke both English and Spanish, so even though everyone on the tour was able to understand Spanish, the guide made sure to speak with me in English after providing the information first in Spanish. We had time to take photos near the cathedral at the top of the mountain, in addition to order food. After the tour was complete, we could explore Monserrate's tourist market which was full of vendors selling clothing, jewelry, souvenirs and plenty of restaurants to eat food. It was a great time, but be prepared to be in that altitude for hours. Might be best to take an altitude medicine or drink some of the coca tea to prevent altitude sickness if you're not from the region or live in an area with high altitude.
