A staff member from the company will meet you at the hotel at your choice of either in the morning or the afternoon. From here you will be taken on a tour through La Sabana de Bogota to the town of Zipaquira, whose 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. Throughout 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 metres below the surface.

Inside you will discover a chapel titled “capilla de los mineros”, which was built as a tribute to the Virgin “Our Lady of the Rosary of Guasá”. At the conclusion of your tour, you will return safely back to Bogotá.
