We made it to South America - Our first day in Bogotá, Colombia visiting Monserrate

Dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve. Made it. Yeah. Wasn't too scary, was it? Yes, it was. I'm so scared of heights. That was scary. It's like straight up and down. That's the steepest funicular I've ever been on. Welcome to Bogota, Colombia, you guys. We're so excited to be here. It's our first time in South America. I'm a little nervous though. It's been a long time since I've talked to the camera. Since we're a little nervous and a little bit rusty, we decided to start this new chapter by challenging ourselves. Check out these amazing views. With this new challenge, we might be a little crazy, but we're going to attempt a daily vlog for the next 15 days. To be honest, daily vlogging is definitely nothing new to YouTube, but it's going to be a challenge for us because it's something that we have never attempted to do before. Right now, we're on top of Montserrat. Can you believe these views? You can see all over the capital of Bogota. It's so worth the trip up here. There's three ways to actually get up here. You can hike, which normally we do, but this city is almost 9,000 feet above sea level, so we're not ready for that yet. We had no way we'd make it. The other options are a funicular or the cable car. We'd recommend the cable car. It by far gives you the best views. There's also a beautiful church up here at the top of Montserrat. It's called the Basilica Sanctuary of Montserrat. You can go inside and look at the beautiful stained glass window, and there's a statue of the fallen Christ. I think this dates back to the 1650s. Let's go check it out. As you walk past the church, you'll run into a bunch of souvenir shops, and then right after those is a bunch of food stalls. Perfect timing because I'm hungry. Yeah, we'll eat here. Wow, look at the view, too. It is like pure jungle out there. Oh! Wow, I'll do So it's pretty amazing. They have all their food out front, so you can see exactly what ingredients and everything they're putting in your food. It looks all so fresh and delicious. I'm really excited. There are so many yummy, delicious-looking food stalls here. Here at Monserrate, we chose one that's going to serve us a couple of typical Colombian dishes. We're going to order the bandeja queja, and we're also going to order the typical ajiaco soup. It's perfect because this morning is a little bit chilly, and these dishes are going to warm us right up. Jugo. That juice looks so good. Gracias. Jugo de naranja. Orange juice. Cheers. They look super fresh. How is it? Freshly squeezed and delicious. Wow. Gracias. That looks fabulous. Okay. Wow. Gracias. It looks so delicious. Okay, it's a little bit of a chilly morning, and this soup is just steaming. This is a typical Colombian dish here. It's called ajiaco soup. It has three different kinds of potatoes, chicken, corn on the cob, and then it comes topped with fresh herb and a little bit of cream, or I think a little bit of milk. It depends on the restaurant that you're at. They also give you a bunch of sides to put in it. Typically, you get rice, avocado, capers, and I got a little plantain as well. I'm so ready to dig in. Wow. That is so delicious. Cozy, warm broth. It is just warming my whole body right now. That fresh cilantro on top. That is so delicious and savory. I love it. All right, we just ordered the bandeja paisa. Wow, it has so many things. It looks like it's rice and beans below. On top, there's egg, avocado, plantains, some sausage, pork, and some chicharrones. Wow, let's dig in. The food here in Bogota, so far so good. This plate is so huge. You could definitely share it between two people. There are so many different ingredients, and it's just massive. Cheers. Breakfast of champions. Wow, this soup definitely lives up to the hype. Oh, it's just bursting with flavors. I've never seen corn kernels this big. Check those out. Those are humongous. Wow, soups to die for. Amazing. Oh, wow. Lengua? No. Pancreas. Riñones. Soup. Pajarilla. Ah, no te gusta. It's good. So our favorite way to travel is to really take it slow. The more time we're immersed in one place, the more we get to know the people, culture, and food, which is ultimately what makes that place so special. So not only is this like ripping off a band-aid for us, but it's a really great way to immerse ourselves in the Colombian culture and share it with you guys every single day for 15 days. We hope you guys enjoyed our first day here in Bogota. We had such a great time. Short and sweet. It was short and sweet, but if we're going to vlog every day for 15 days, we can't be making 30-minute long videos. Yeah, I don't know how that's going to go. Five minutes, and that's all you're going to get from us. See you later. Can you make a wish? I always forget to make the wish. I get so stressed out about throwing the coin.
