Monserrate

We took the cable car to the top of the mountain Monserrate and saw beautiful sites. I would recommend relaxing for a beer at the top to overlook the city and take in the view. It’s important to remember that Colombia has high altitude, especially in Bogotá. I got a little altitude sickness, so make sure to drink lots of water or “Te de Coca” which helps alleviate the sickness.

restaurants

Andrés Carne de Res Express

Although I’ve been warned it’s touristy, we loved Andres Carne de Res. This was the most unique place ever – it’s multi-level and part restaurant/part dance club.

lodging

JW Marriott Hotel Bogota

I recommend staying in or near Zona G; we stayed at the JW Marriott Bogotá. It was one of the nicest Marriotts at which I’ve ever stayed – for about 1/3 of the price you’d expect!
