Sorry they're not all prettied and adjusted...just for you to enjoy in their raw form!We started out the trip with a long layover in Bogota, Columbia. We decided to go out and explore for a few hours, rather than sleep on the dirty airport carpet. Below are the pictures from our ascent up to Cerro de Monserrate. We took a cable car STRAIGHT up the hill...
and hiked up to the church.
The white church built on the mountain summit is at 3,200 meters and dominates the cityscape. Every Sunday Pilgrims (and tourists like us) take the cable cars straight up the side of the mountain to pay their respects to Senor Caido, the Fallen Christ, inside the church.
The best views in Bogota are seen from the peak, as well as a dirty little market behind the church.
Yes, that is 4 different types of blood sausage...hungry?
Also atop the mountain is a gorgeous restaurate. Unfortunately they weren't open at 6 a.m.!
Street vendors lined the roads up to the church. This was the most intersting one...in her little cook house she made these delicious corn pancakes with cheese in the middle. Yummy!
We then dashed back to the airport to catch our next 2 flights that took us into the heart of Peru. Coming soon...inside Peru!
