  • Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira, Zipaquira, Colombia
    Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your Bogotá hotel. Travel north towards the charming city of Zipaquirá and arrive at the salt mine, where your guide will lead you underground to the cathedral, located over 656 feet (200 meters) below the earth’s surface. As you step inside this magnificent structure, listen to your guide share the captivating history of the cathedral's construction and the artistry involved in its creation. The original salt cathedral opened in 1954 but was closed due to safety concerns. The dedicated architects then carved out an additional 250,000 tons of rock to create the stunning cathedral you’ll see today, which opened in 1991. Wander through the impressive darkened tunnels and explore the church’s three main sections. Witness how Catholic symbolism and contemporary engineering harmoniously blend in this magnificent temple, enhanced by dramatic lighting effects and sculptures.

The Salt Cathedral is a true religious experience, much like Machu Picchu. It is 850' below the surface. One doesn't think of this while walking because of the carvings and Stations of the Cross. The most spectacular part of the visit was Christ speaking on one side of the wall, his words projected on the opposite side and the cross illuminated in the center. It is shown only during Easter week. It's hard to imagine that this could be carved out of the salt mountain.

Gigio was an amazing guide. He customized our tour based on what he learned about us and what we thought would be interesting. He was very knowledgeable and kind-his English was perfect and we were right at ease with him!
