Full description
Travel for 2 hours north of Bogotá to the city of Zipaquirá, where you will visit the renowned Salt Cathedral. Known as a must-visit in Colombia, it is a monument of faith that has become an architectural piece like no other.  Explore the Roman Catholic church built in the ancient hollows of a salt mine, 180 meters below ground. Marvel at the cathedral’s architecture built within the mine’s remaining caverns and tunnels.  You will have 2 hours inside the Cathedral to visit all the sights as the audio guide explains about the process of salt formation, the architecture, and the mining process within every detail. Inside the mine, there are different pieces of stonework and sculpture that, due to their size and illumination, make this spectacular wonder an engineering jewel, famous around the world. You may also visit the light show at the very end of the tunnels before returning to Bogotá.

This was a good experience, Camila my guide provided insightful explanations and made the trip very pleasant. I only wish we had a bit more time in the actual mine because by the time the tour inside ended, we only had like 45 minutes to explore and that wasn’t enough. Other than that, I enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it.

It was nice trip to the Salt Cathedral! There were extras, like coffee and a mini hand spa, that were included that was a nice surprise. Camilla was an excellent tour guide and was great and switching in between Spanish and English so everyone was included.

Very well organised, and the cathedral is definitely worth visiting, it's so much bigger then it looks in pictures, it's really impressive. One small piece of advice: if you can try to avoid going on a weekend, the traffic can be quite heavy and it'll shorten your time at the town (which is pretty), also there'll be a longer queue to enter
