Up Monserrate

If Bogot� has been growing on me these past few days, then Saturday was the day of falling in love. Magical day, up at Monserrate and then later at Candelaria.

Monserrate is a beautiful mountain overlooking downtown Bogot� with a historic church located on top and a handful of other great ways to kill time (or line your stomach with some yum grease). It's located at about 500m above Bogot�, making it about 3100m above sea level. Well high, well wicked. 5 minute Teleferico (aka cable car) ride up watching the city breathtakingly unravel in front of you: 5600 pesos.

2 hour trek down in the rain, wobbly knees, dizzy from the heights, intoxicated by the smell of wet earth, stopping for cervezas at a little shack playing salsa music: pricless


through the rain


Not the best day for photographs, thanks to the rain, but what a day! Muy bacano!
