Hotel Salto del Tequendama - Colombia Opened in 1928, this incredible cliff side hotel was created to cater wealthy travellers visiting the Tequendama Falls area. The hotel offered breathtaking views of the adjacent waterfall and a lavish setting, but when the Bogotá river was contaminated, tourism took a steep decline and the hotel was forced to shut it’s doors in the early 90′s It sat abandoned ever since. Numerous suicides over the years have resulted in many visitors leaving convinced that the hotel is haunted. Ghosts are said to haunt the hotel and according to the caretaker, are believed to be from the old days when bar fights on the second story would end up on its balcony, sometimes resulting in a drunk patron losing more than the fight. On the other hand, there are stories of those who checked out (of life) by jumping off the cliff. That’s right, despite its beauty or perhaps because of it, the falls is a place where people have been known to say their goodbyes. When one would find a letter or some sort of personal item without an owner, it was thought to have been left behind.
