About this tour

Embark on an extraordinary journey to two of Colombia’s most fascinating underground marvels: the Salt Cathedrals of Zipaquirá and Nemocón. Your tour begins in Zipaquirá, home to the renowned Salt Cathedral, a stunning feat of engineering and spirituality. Carved deep into the walls of a former salt mine, this majestic cathedral is filled with intricate salt sculptures, illuminated halls, and vast chambers that tell the story of Colombia’s cultural and religious heritage. As you walk through its sacred corridors, you’ll learn about the history of salt mining in the region and experience the serene, spiritual atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind underground sanctuary.

Next, you’ll travel to Nemocón, a charming town that boasts its own fascinating salt mine, equally impressive in its beauty and history. The Nemocón Salt Mine, less touristy but no less remarkable, offers a more intimate experience. You’ll explore the network of tunnels, some dating back over 500 years, while discovering how the mine was a vital source of wealth and development for the region. Highlights of the Nemocón mine include the mesmerizing “salt waterfall” formations and the famous heart-shaped salt crystal, which weighs over 1,600 pounds and has become a symbol of love and endurance.

Throughout this immersive tour, you’ll not only marvel at the stunning geological wonders but also gain deep insight into Colombia’s mining history and the essential role that salt has played in shaping its culture and economy. With expert guides sharing stories and local legends, your experience will be as informative as it is awe-inspiring. The tour concludes with a scenic drive back through the Colombian highlands, leaving you with unforgettable memories of these remarkable subterranean treasures. This is a perfect adventure for those seeking both beauty and history in Colombia’s rich landscapes.
