There is a place away from the everyday, which invites reflection, self-discovery and internal encounter. You will find the Via Crucis in the first section of the underground route which is 386 meters long and 13 meters high in which 14 Stations of the Via Crucis are arranged, these were carved in Rock Salt by the Miners and represent the different stages lived by Jesus until his crucifixion and burial. The dome is the place where the Tunnel that arrives from the 14 Stations converges with the first visual encounter of the Great Central Chamber of the Salt Cathedral.

Colonial architecture is one of the attractions of the aforementioned places. It receives the name of Plaza de los Comuneros because it was the scene of the first revolution in America and the center of freedom of the new world. Nearly 20,000 men met there, headed by Juan Francisco Berbeo, who came from Socorro, Santander, seeking to sign the capitulations. The Plaza was cobbled in 1823 and in 1938 it was remodeled by placing a central font. For its part, the Diocesan Cathedral, a building that stands out in the square, was inaugurated and consecrated on November 9, 1916. The interior decoration of the Cathedral was finished in 1937.

The salt cathedral is a must see when visiting Bogota. The scale is truly impressive and it's a really unique experience. It's around 45 minute drive (depending on traffic) and the trip takes around half a day. My guide, Katy was excellent. She was really friendly and knowledgeable. The driver Jorge was a lovely guy too and they both made the experience a true pleasure. Having lunch in Zipaquira afterwards was also a really nice touch. Totally recommend this trip.
