From a mansion, to a hotel, to a museum the current Tequendama Falls Museum has never lost its view of the titular gorgeous falls.
Built in 1923 to serve as a successful architect's lush mountain mansion, the decadent cliffside abode was constructed as a symbol of the lush roaring 20's. During the 1950's the house was to be expanded to become an 18-story hotel complex, but the construction plans petered out leaving the French-styled architecture intact. After serving its time as the Hotel del Salto, the grand old house was abandoned and left to cultivate moss and tales of hauntings.
Most recently the gorgeous building has been turned converted into the Tequendama Falls Museum, displaying wonders of the natural world to compliment the organic beauty of the falls that inspired the building's construction.
