Ever since I first saw a photo of this place, I've been trying to find some more information on it. Because...well, look at it! If you haven't already become completely entranced by this place, then there's something wrong with you (or maybe there's something wrong with me? Quite possible).
This abandoned hotel overlooks the Tequendama Falls in Colombia, 30km from the capital. The building was first constructed in 1928 as a private mansion, designed by Carlos Arturo Tapias. The hotel opened in the 1950's, catering to visitors to the falls, as it offers a pretty amazing view, sitting right at the edge of the cliff, as you can see from this photo:
Unsurprisingly, there were rumours that the place was haunted, because it looks like the perfect set for a horror film. The hotel was unfortunately closed in the 90's due to water contamination.

Thankfully, the hotel has now been turned into a museum, photos of which can be seen here, and it will hopefully be conserved for as long as possible.
