Private Tour to the Salt Cathedral and the Guatavita Lagoon

Overview

Uncover the captivating saga of El Dorado. A narrative conceived by Spanish colonizers who, with an obsession for gold and desiring thrill-seekers to come to The Nueva Granada, propagated the fable of a metropolis constructed from treasure, bringing in a vast number of mercenaries.

Continuing on our expedition, 60 km north of Bogota, the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral submerges you into the mountains' depths. Be astounded by the Roman Catholic church excavated within a halite mountain 200 Meters beneath the surface, manifesting Christian faithfulness.

Take respite from your daily life with a spa and relaxation session at Desal Spa situated at the bottom of the salt mine. Here, you will take pleasure in the vapors from mineral deposits and a cleansing atmosphere that harmonizes with salinity rituals, aromatherapy and care administered by wellness professionals in an entirely natural setting. (optional)

Conclude your day strolling over Zipaquirá's cobblestone roads while admiring its Colonial buildings around city plaza which display its Spanish inheritance.
