<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tequendama Falls</b> (or <i>Salto del Tequendama</i>) is a major tourist attraction about 30 km southwest of Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. The thousands of tourists who visit the area to admire the 157 metre (515 feet) tall waterfall and the surrounding nature, make a stop at another nearby landmark as well, the abandoned <i>Hotel del Salto.</i></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The luxurious <i><b>Hotel del Salto</b></i> opened in 1928 to welcome wealthy travelers visiting the Tequendama Falls area. Situated just opposite to the waterfall and on the edge of the cliff, it provided a breathtaking view to its guests. During the next decades though, Bogotá river was contaminated and tourists gradually lost their interest to the area. The hotel finally closed down in the early 90's and was left abandoned ever since. The fact that many people in the past chose that spot to commit suicide, made others believe that the hotel is haunted.<br /><br />Update: <i>Hotel del Salto</i> has now been turned into a museum. </span></div>
