CERRO DE MONSERRATE

Translation Comprehension Grammar Vocabulary Pronunciation/Listening Game Index Page

Cerro de Monserrate is of great importance for Bogotá. The white church built on the summit of a mountain 3,200 meters high dominates the cityscape. Pilgrims, devoted to the Señor Caído (a statue of Christ inside the church), visit to pay their dues for the idol's generosity. The mountaintop offers the best panoramic view of Bogotá. There is also a handicrafts market, good cafes and a couple of excellent restaurants with both traditional and international menus, which stay open until midnight. You can get to the top by funicular or by cable car.
