10 Most Haunted Hotels in the World

"Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the over-400-foot-high Tequendama Falls in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia, this former luxury hotel—now a museum of biodiversity and culture—was abandoned in the 1990s and gained a haunted reputation partly due to numerous suicides; I've read stories linking earlier Muisca accounts of people leaping into the falls to become eagles and accounts of guests hearing distant, disembodied voices speaking in the indigenous Chibcha language." - Steven Casale Steven Casale Steven Casale is a New York City-based freelance writer and digital strategist.

This is a quick stop. Just buy some empanadas and soda, take you pics and keep going to your final destination. I have never seen the museum open on the few times I was visiting.

It's a great place to enjoy nature, the museum is well but is small. You could take beautiful photos and from the museum you will have great spots for take photos

A jurassic park view! Stunning multi level waterfall views that are straight from a Jurassic Park film. Just awesome! Easy to get to from the city with road side cafes but without any coffee. There is a small museum on site with a 12,000 peso ($3) entry fee with great veranda views, toilets and great coffee! Visited on a Sunday and it was heaving with people! Didn’t like the museum much though. Not very interesting, lacked exhibits and all the signage was is in Spanish. I could read it fine but it simply does not cater for the international visitor. Very little to see inside. The three stars are for the views!

Tequendama Falls are amazing. Lots of false mixed reviews out there. If you want to enjoy nature with amazing views, within 2 hrs of Bogotá, this is a perfect destination. We coupled this trip with a visit to Hacienda Coloma (coffee plantation). Great day trip from Bogotá.

If you ask for information about how to go to the waterfall they will call the cops and fireman to "prevent you from suicide" and won't release you till you leave the place. Those guys are completely nuts! So if you want to enjoy the view of the waterfall just walk the road till you see a hole in the fence and walk down to the top of waterfall without anyone notice

A beautiful waterfall when not in cloud. It's 30 minutes by bus from Portal Sur. There's no hikes or anything here so you'll likely spend less than 30 minutes here. The museum is closed Monday to Friday

Very good restoration work, is a travel to the past. The view of the Tequendama falls is spectacular, the guides provide many information regarding the falls and the building history itself. It is forbidden to take pictures inside of the building and the restoration work is still on progress.
