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.

This square is a landmark of Bogota. There is a very majestic church here, and you can also walk around the old town and check in. The architecture of the old town is very beautiful.

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 that displays jewelry, not only gems but also gold. I think if you like these kind of sparkling and glittering things, you can come and have a look. I personally am not particularly interested and just took a casual look.
It's a small museum, mainly displaying some jewellery. I have no interest in it at all, but I came here to accompany others. However, I think its small courtyard is quite beautiful, and it is rare to see it 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.
Santa Clara Church in Bogota, Colombia, is a historic European-style church with a standard Gothic architectural style. The exquisite church tower is its most shining symbol. The interior decoration of the church is relatively simple, but the citizens of Bogota like to come here to pray, so the surrounding is very lively.
