Tequendama Falls

This guide to Tequendama Falls outside Bogota follows the French-style mansion perched at the edge of the gorge, from a businessman's abandoned plan for an eighteen-story hotel to the modest country house he actually built and its decades running as a resort where guests woke to the roar of the falls. It traces how the Bogota River above the falls turned against the hotel and what became of the building once the guests stopped coming. Stand at the window the original guests once did.
