This Haunted Hotel Colombia is also referred to as the ‘Mansion of Tequendama Falls’; it highlights awe-inspiring French architecture. The backdrop serves as the perfect vacation place for anyone.

However, despite its
superb location, it also became the source of spooky stories. It is always
shrouded with mystery as the fog coming from the waterfalls covers it.
The hotel was closed down after the Bogota River was contaminated. A mere
glance at this hotel will know why it is considered a haunted hotel Colombia.
According to the
story, the beautiful falls of Tequendama have become a prominent place of suicide
for the Muisca people. They choose to jump over the waterfalls than be slaves
of the Spaniards during the Spanish Colonization era. There is plenty of
‘evidence’ in YouTube believed to be the
ghost of the Muisca people who decided to take their lives on the falls. This has contributed to the eerie story of Hotel del Salto
The Eerie Story
Some people dismissed the story as merely a ‘campfire story.’ However, it only takes a matter of five minutes for you to reach the place where most people take their life. It is still a renowned place for suicide, wherein the latest act of suicide happened just a month ago. The waterfall is truly a sight to behold. However, you can’t help but feel this sense of depression. You can imagine those people who stood on top of the falls and found no way to go but to jump down. Once you see Hotel sel Salto, the architecture and the ambiance will convince you that it is a haunted hotel Colombia.
Hotel sel Salto has been
going into a transformation phase and is currently open on specific days, not
as a haunted hotel Colombia but as a museum. The entrance fee to
access the museum is about $2, and a Spanish-speaking guide will direct you to
the different rooms of the facility. The building is enigmatic, to say
the least. It is sometimes foggy and covered with the swirling water from
the falls.
