- Story Text: Colombians can join Santa Claus and his elves on a Christmas train that rides through Bogota, from Usaquen to Chia, as the nativity celebrations of December 25 approach.
A joyous fireworks display welcomes them in Chia as they come off the train whilst bright lights cover the paths of the Monserrate hill, on a mountain in the east of the city.
The church of Monserrate, along with the La Candelaria neighborhood and Bolivar Square, are among the most popular spots for Bogota visitors.
The Colombian capital Bogota is home to 8 million people and is the country's political, economic, administrative, industrial, artistic, cultural, sports, and tourist epicenter.
