Private Zipaquirá and Salt Cathedral Tour from Bogotá

After being picked up from your hotel, drive for 60-90 minutes to the colonial town of Zipaquirá. Proceed to the famous Salt Cathedral, located inside the depths of the world's biggest salt rock reserve. The Cathedral was first built in the 1950s by miners who carved a small chapel into the salt walls of the mine. Over the years, the cathedral was expanded and redeveloped, and in 1991, a new cathedral was inaugurated. The current cathedral is a stunning feat of engineering, with intricate sculptures, chapels, and cross-shaped stations of the cross, all carved into the salt walls of the mine. Take a guided tour of the cathedral, which includes information on its history, construction, and religious significance. There are also several other activities available, such as a light and sound show, a 3D movie, and a salt-mining simulator. After your visit to the Cathedral, enjoy a typical Colombian lunch in one of Zipaquirá's best restaurants.
