The Hotel del Salto, also known as the Tequendama Falls Hotel, overlooked the Tequendama Falls on the Bogota River in Colombia. The house, named “The Mansion of Tequendama Falls”, was built in 1923 as a mansion by the architect Carlos Arturo Tapias. It was abandoned in the 1990s, for more than two decades, due to river contamination. After 20 years, the abandoned building was finally put to good use. It is now the Museum of Biodiversity and Culture, restoring the old building’s beauty and purpose.
