It is an incredible quiet place surrounded by nature where you can see an amazing view of the city while having a coffee or a traditional chocolate cup with cheese. You can also have dinner there. If you go up after 3 pm make sure to bring a jacket, sometimes it gets very cold.
There are two ways of going up really quick or you can also use the stairs, which would be a relatively easy trekking.

Páramos are unique ecosystems in the Andes. If you are good cycling, you can climb there on Sundays mornings. There are a lot of cyclists there but can also walk or run if you are used to do it. Bear in mind the altitude.

Samgöngur
Uber works fine. Also Transmilenio but not on peak hours.
You can use apps like Uber (usually you will have to sit on the back chairs), Cabify (for taxis) or Beat, which is the cheapest but sometimes it gets confused when navigating on the map.
