Take the cable car to the top of the mountain and you can see the whole Bogota. The top of the mountain is 3000 meters above sea level. There is a beautiful church on top.

The ticket was very convenient to use with a QR code, allowing me to skip the ticket purchase line. However, there was still a queue for entry. I took the funicular up and the cable car down, and I’d recommend doing the same or reversing the order to experience both transport options—both were fun in their own way. The staff were very helpful, making everything easy to navigate. The views from the peak and the church were absolutely spectacular, making the trip well worth it!

The Gold Museum is a famous attraction in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.
It houses about 30,000 exquisite gold objects made by Indians from the 20th century BC to the 16th century AD, which are displayed according to different periods and regions.
The exhibits in the Gold Museum are only a small part of the Indian artifacts that have been excavated. Many precious artworks have been almost stolen by colonists from Spain and other countries over the past few hundred years. However, even from these preserved gold objects, people can see the wisdom and artistic level of the Colombian people.
The ticket price is 4,000 pesos per person, which is less than 6 yuan in RMB. It is free to visit on Sundays.
The exhibits at the Bogota Gold Museum are worth seeing. In fact, there are not only gold but also pottery, etc. It is free to visit. There are quite a lot of people, so I recommend it to everyone with five stars. It is worth coming.

Plaza Bolivar is located in the heart of the old town of Bogota, the capital, and is also the center of power in Colombia. It is surrounded by the cathedral, the Congress, the presidential palace and the city hall. The Botero Art Museum nearby is the most recommended, where there are a group of cute "fat guys" waiting for you to discover
There are all kinds of people coming and going in Plaza Bolivar, children chasing pigeons in the square, vendors selling corn and grilled sausages, a steaming scene of life. I also met three groups of locals who wanted to take pictures with me. Maybe they rarely see... Asians! This is the day I saw the most people in Colombia. The rest of the time I was shooting birds in the forest... Haha!
Welcome to travel to Colombia ✈️

This is a museum displaying jewelry, not only gems and gold, I feel that if you like this kind of sparkling pearly thing students can come and have a look, I personally am not particularly interested, just look at it.
A small museum, the main display is some jewelry, I have no interest in it, I am accompanying others, but his small courtyard, I think it is quite beautiful, it is rare to see in this country.

The Portello Museum is a very special museum, and all the exhibits here are beyond your imagination. There is a fat version of Mona Lisa, a weird-shaped house, and a very dreamy forest painting. Everything is so unique and full of design inspiration. It is definitely worth a visit.
The Botero Museum in Bogota, Colombia, is a museum full of creativity. Many classic works here are abstract or exaggerated, which is very unique and gives people a new visual experience.

Santa Clara Church is a very famous church in Bogota. The exterior wall of the church is decorated with red and white stripes, which is very rare in church buildings and is very unique. The interior decoration is very ordinary. Local believers like to come here to pray, and it is worth visiting.

Carrera 7 is the most important commercial street in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. The road surface of the street is not very wide, but there are many shops, banks and restaurants on both sides, and the business atmosphere is very strong. If you want to shop or taste delicious food, don't miss this street.

It is a bit similar to Nanjing Road in Shanghai and Wangfujing Street in Beijing. It is very lively and many tourists come here every day. It can be said to be the commercial center of Colombia.
