Guadalupe Hill, Summit in Eastern Hills, Bogotá, Colombia
The hill reaches an elevation of 3,360 meters above sea level and features a 15-meter-high statue at its summit with a dedicated chapel.
The first hermitage on Guadalupe Hill was constructed in 1656, followed by multiple reconstructions due to earthquake damage throughout the centuries.
The Muisca people considered the hill sacred, using it for burial ceremonies and building temples dedicated to their sun god, Sué.
Visitors can reach the summit through walking trails or roads, with public transportation services operating regularly on Sundays from Bogotá.
The hill serves as the type locality of the Guadalupe Group, a Late Cretaceous sedimentary sequence measuring 750 meters in thickness.
