Guatavita See & Salz Kathedrale Tour.

So the salt cathedral is totally worth a visit but you don't really need to pay a premium for a guided tour. In our case it may have been the guide who was a) not very comfortable with English b) wasn't really offering us any insights about Bogota or the country on the hour long ride or during lunch and instead was happy chatting with the driver. The mini van we were in also seemed to lack suspension and the ride was extremely uncomfortable. We skipped Guatavita because we didn't want to add to the discomfort. Much as we were disappointed with the guide (we had massively more enhanced experience using a guide in Medellin and Cartagena so were a bit spoilt), I will give credit to the tour company for working with us to switch from Guatavita to Monserrate and not charging us more for it. The cathedral is amazing and the recorded audio self tour you can rent does a good job of giving context. I would recommend simply renting a car or a cab to transport to and back instead of using a guide. It was out last day in Colombia so we were a lot more comfortable getting around but it is not that hard. Many of the companies that pick you up from airport also offer this service without the premium for a guide.

El tour hay que hacerlo y es bueno. Sin embargo, la guia estaba un poco pasando los sintomas del alcohol y por eso fue un poco incomodo recibir la guianza de su parte. En cuanto al conductor, fue un excelente servicio y los lugares espectaculares. Gracias.

Hatte insgesamt eine gute Tour. Guatavita ist wunderschön, aber Sie müssen sich einer anderen Reisegruppe anschließen, sobald Sie dort angekommen sind. Die Bilder der Salzkathedrale werden dem nicht gerecht, es ist großartig. Ich habe den Audioguide weitergegeben und einfach nur erkundet. Mein Führer Diego war gut und entgegenkommend. Sie könnten vielleicht alles alleine machen, wissen Sie nur, dass der Verkehr ein Biest ist.
