Two main tourist sites seen today

 Our hotel supplied breakfast was wonderful (best breakfast so far on this trip)

Our first visit was to Arvi Park. We caught a cab to the nearest metro station (Poblano). From there our ticket took us all the way to the north part of the city and then we transferred (on the same ticket) to one of the numerous cable cars (sky tram) that the city has made for the many barrios located WAY up on the mountain sides all around the valley here.

When we were about 3/4 way up the mountain we had to transfer to another cable car which was separately priced (much higher too) because this car only went to the park at the top.

It is hard to believe people living that high up (and of course in these countries the higher up the mountain, the poorer the people are).

About twenty minutes or so of cable car riding brought us to the park. My cell phone app shows a difference in height from valley floor to top at 3000 feet.

We walked many of the trails, some of them through dense forest and many with a width of barely 1/2 metre.

After a couple of hours we headed back down. 

Our next stop after another metro ride was the station closest to commune 13 (incidently the metro is all above ground here and is usually elevated). This is a community at the top of a mountain on the west side of the city. Thirty years ago it was one of the most dangerous locations in the world because of Pablo Escobar's drug wars. Now it is a "must see" tourist site and goodness knows, today, being Sunday, it was packed (mostly Colombians).

We got off the metro at the last stop on that line and waiting outside were many tourist guides. We chose a fellow who spoke English and together with a couple from USA we took a city bus UP narrow winding streets (and they were busy as well).

The guide (Fercho) then took us walking to the many murals painted on the retaining walls in the area. These murals are the reason for this area being famous,

It was difficult at times to walk in the very busy narrow streets (that seem to hang on to the edge of the mountain). There were even people riding motor bikes and really this is their home and everyone is walking on these narrow streets, not sidewalks; there aren't any of those!

Some beautiful views of the city.

Upon returning to our area we went back to the restaurant we visited yesterday for more Colombian food. This time we split an order and we were still full!

Tonight I am watching the football game.
