About this tour

The Zipaquirá and Guatavita Tour is a captivating journey that showcases two of Colombia’s most remarkable destinations. The adventure begins in Zipaquirá, where you’ll explore the iconic Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, an architectural marvel carved deep within a salt mine. As you descend into the mine, you’ll walk through illuminated tunnels and chambers, each adorned with intricate salt sculptures and religious symbols, leading to the awe-inspiring main sanctuary. This underground wonder, with its vast spaces and ethereal lighting, offers a spiritual experience that leaves a lasting impression on visitors.

After exploring the Salt Cathedral, the tour continues with a visit to the charming town of Zipaquirá. Known for its colonial architecture and vibrant local culture, Zipaquirá’s main square, Plaza de los Comuneros, is a lively hub where you can admire the historic Zipaquirá Cathedral. The square is filled with local artisans and vendors offering handmade crafts and traditional Colombian foods, giving you a taste of the town’s rich heritage and vibrant atmosphere.

The journey then takes you to Guatavita, a picturesque town nestled in the Andes, famous for the Guatavita Lake and the legend of El Dorado. The Guatavita Tour offers a visit to Guatavita Lake, a mystical body of water surrounded by lush green hills. According to legend, this lake was the site of ancient Muisca rituals that inspired the myth of El Dorado. As you explore the area, you’ll learn about the indigenous Muisca people and their cultural significance. The town of Guatavita itself is equally charming, with its whitewashed buildings, terracotta roofs, and peaceful ambiance.

Combining the architectural wonders of the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral with the natural beauty and legend of Guatavita Lake, this tour provides a rich and diverse experience. Whether you’re drawn by history, enchanted by myths, or seeking stunning landscapes, the Zipaquirá and Guatavita Tour offers something for everyone. It’s an unforgettable journey that highlights Colombia’s rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty.
