The Monserrate Cable Car is an icon of the Colombian capital. When you visit Bogotá, you cannot miss experiencing this plan that not only provides you with a means of transportation, but is also a living testament to the history and beauty of the city. 

Since its inauguration in the 1950s, the cable car has been a vital link between the city and the imposing Monserrate mountain. Over the years, it has evolved in technology and security, becoming a cultural icon that preserves and protects the historical essence of Bogotá.  

As you ascend the cable car, you can contemplate its diverse landscapes and feel the fresh mountain breeze and the capital's climate. Once at the top, the majestic panoramic view of the city mixes with the history of the Monserrate church and the warmth of local vendors. 

In these places, you will find various objects handmade by artisans belonging to indigenous communities, such as Wayuú and Arhuaca. You can buy products such as backpacks and other handmade jewelry at good prices. You can also enjoy authentic Colombian food in establishments that offer traditional dishes such as tumba paisa and tamal. 

If you plan to visit Bogotá and Monserrate, we recommend that you organize your trip taking into account the cable car schedules and prices. Don't forget to wear clothing appropriate for the city's climate, which can be cool in the morning and evening, and warm during the day. Allow plenty of time to explore the rich culture and natural beauty that Monserrate has to offer.
