Cerro de Monserrate is very important to Bogotá. The white church built on the mountain summit, 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 also offers the best panoramic view of Bogotá. There is a handicrafts market, good cafés 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.
