Let's visit the Sacred Lagoon and Salt Cathedral in 1 day! In this shared tour we will visit the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá which is the second largest cathedral made of salt in the world. This is a salt complex located 180 meters below the ground, which represents one of the most distinguished achievements of Colombian architecture, as well as being a true faith for the miners. In addition to this, we will visit the Laguna Sagrada de Guatavita, where the legend of "El Dorado" took place. This is a magical green area surrounded by an incredible landscape that you can see once at the top of the lagoon.

First of all I would like to thanks Johan and Carlos (our guide and driver) they were great and took a great care of us during all trip. About the trip itself, the little hike around lagoon was really nice with beautiful nature and views. The salt cathedral is an interesting place, however it didn’t impress me as much as I expected. Just don’t plan anything for the evening as the trip can prolong and take you more then 10 hours (for us it was almost 14)

Good itinerary, you need the whole day to do it. There is a 400m hike to see the lake starting at 2800 m so you need to be prepared for it. The van picked us up at the other end of the hike so 'going back' was not an option. That being said, it is not the very hard hike and it is worth it.
