Monserrate, which was named for the multi-peaked mountain range Montserrat near Barcelona, is a mountain over 10,000 feet high that dominates the city center of Bogotá. It rises to 10,341 feet (3,152 meters) above sea level, and near its top is a church. The church was erected in the 17th century and is pared with a shrine, devoted to El Señor Caído (or the Fallen Lord in Spanish).
The Mountain, already considered sacred in pre-Columbian times when the area was inhabited by the indigenous Muisca, is a pilgrim destination, as well as a major tourist attraction. In addition to the church, the summit contains restaurants, cafeteria, souvenir shops and many smaller tourist facilities. Monserrate can be accessed by aerial tramway (a cable car known as the teleférico), by funicular, or by climbing, the preferred way of pilgrims.
All downtown Bogotá, south Bogotá and some sections of the north of the city are visible facing west, making it a popular destination to watch the sunset over the city. Every year, Monserrate and its neighbor Guadalupe attract many tourists.

I met him during a visit to the Bolivar Square, downtown of Bogota, Colombia. He likes to teach people (specially foreigners) about the history of Bogota and Colombia. Of course, at the end of the "history class" he will gently ask his students for some "moneditas" (coins).
He recently became famous and the most important newspaper in Colombia (El Tiempo) wrote an article about him.
