Perched above the fog-laced Tequendama Falls in Colombia, the Hotel del Salto is as breathtaking as it is infamous. Once a mansion for Bogotá’s elite, this cliffside landmark is now remembered for something far darker — a string of suicides, ancient Muisca legends, colonial trauma, ecological ruin, and whispers of ghosts that never left.In this episode of The Supernatural Collective, we trace the haunting story of Tequendama’s edge: from pre-Columbian spiritual beliefs to the Spanish conquest, from 1940s death pacts to 1990s urban explorers, and from a decaying ruin to a restored museum with secrets still lingering in its walls.
