Discover the greatest cultural symbol of Bogotá
Elevated at 3,152 meters (10,341 feet) above sea level, the Cerro de Monserrate has become part of the history of Bogotá, thanks to the large flow of Colombian and foreign visitors, who come for Catholic beliefs or for the beautiful landscape that lets enjoy.
This icon so beloved by Bogotá citizens is easily recognizable by the immaculate white church built on the top of the hill, which can be appreciated from all points of the city. Its interior houses the sculpture of the Fallen Lord of Monserrate, Bogotá's patron saint, which attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year seeking spiritual comfort.
Learn how the Monserrate hill became one of the most representative of Bogotá and how its history dates back to pre hispanic times.

The unforgettable experiences of our clients
This is what our clients who have experienced incredible tours in Bogotá say. Thank you all for your reviews and for trusting Hansa Tours.
By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
