A staff member from the company will meet you at the hotel, either in the morning or the afternoon, to take you on a tour through La Sabana de Bogota to the town of Zipaquira, which name means 'city of our Father' in the language of the Chibcha. Back in pre-Columbian times, salt around the area was the most important commodity and the ‘salt cakes’ were the only
currency for trading. Over time, technology improved and the muiscas began to extract larger amounts of salt. As a result, an underground salt deposit was formed and it is where the Salt Cathedral was built, 180 meters below the surface. Inside, there is a chapel, “capilla de los mineros” built as a tribute to the Virgin “Our Lady of the Rosary of Guasá” (Guasá means 'mine' in Chibcha). At the end, return to Bogotá

A cordialidade do guia Carlos e a pontualidade do motorista Felipe foram excepcionais. O conhecimento demonstrado não só sobre a Catedral do Sal como uma aula sobre o café colombiano superou as minhas expectativas. Por último, o transporte disponibilizado foi de primeira.

The tour operator did not turn up.
Their explanation for not picking us up was that we booked over the weekend for a Monday morning tour‽ Considering we booked on the Saturday this shouldn’t have been a problem, especially as Trip Adviser sent confirmation.
They did offer to take us the next day but considering we were leaving that day this wasn’t possible. We ended up taking an Uber there which ended up being cheaper and quite ok.
They did process the refund promptly.
