At the foot of the climb to Monserrate, the lines spread out for several blocks, worrying thousands of Bogota citizens.

This weekend, as part of the new normal, the climb to Monserrate was authorized again. The cable car, funicular and the pedestrian path to ascend to the tutelary hill of Bogotá were reopened. Although the sanctuary of the Fallen Lord has not yet been opened, thousands of Bogotans made the ascent.

This was seen in videos published on social networks of those who passed by the Circunvalar Avenue. Thousands of Bogotans rushed to make the traditional climb to one of the most historic tourist sites in Bogota.

In the videos published on social networks, you can see very long lines at the entrance of the Funicular station and the beginning of the trail.

At these points, both the administration of the Monserrate Sanctuary and the Idrd have put controls in place. This, in order to try to ensure social distancing on the climb to Monserrate. In addition, temperature takes have been taken for those interested in the ascent.

The previous rows show the crowds. Parishioners, athletes and tourists crowded into a lane of Circunvalar Avenue.

Although the precept of wearing masks seems to be fulfilled, the number of Bogota citizens caused much concern. Despite the decrease in figures, Bogotá has had averages of 2000 daily infections in recent days.
