Morro de Monserrate in Bogotá
History of Yasmin Lima - Ceara, Brasil
Morro de Monserrate in Bogotá is the most prominent hill of the Oriental hills, with a history that dates back to colonial times. Originally known as Morro das Neves, it became an important place of religious pilgrimage, housing the Basilica of the Lord of Monserrate. Built over the centuries, the hill has a historic path, small chapels and the Sanctuary of the Fallen Lord of Monserrate. Despite the loss of part of the fauna and flora, the hill maintains Andean forest ecosystems and is a natural space suitable for sports. The Corredor Ecológico Park, created in 1992, aims to preserve the environmental area of the eastern hills... Did you know?
