1
Zipaquira
Sinta-se Ć vontade para explorar no seu prĆ³prio ritmo e descobrir
Parada: 1 h 30 min - entrada nĆ£o incluĆda
Main attractions
- A working salt mine beneath the Colombian savanna 49km north of BogotĆ”, hollowed into a subterranean cathedral of extraordinary ambition ā 200 metres underground, a sequence of fourteen chapels representing the Stations of the Cross leads through increasingly vast salt-carved tunnels to the main cathedral nave, a space 75 metres long and 18 meters high carved entirely from halite rock and illuminated in shifting coloured light
- The main altar cross ā 16 meters tall, carved directly into the salt rock face ā is one of the most striking pieces of religious architecture in South America; the surrounding salt columns, arches and vaulted ceilings give the space a genuinely sacred atmosphere despite its entirely engineered origins
Take note
- The colonial town of ZipaquirĆ” above the mine has a well-preserved central plaza and cathedral worth a brief exploration before or after the underground visit; the mine itself maintains a constant cool temperature of around 14Ā°C ā bring a layer regardless of BogotĆ”'s surface temperature
2
Guatavita
Sinta-se Ć vontade para explorar no seu prĆ³prio ritmo e descobrir
Parada: 1 h 30 min - entrada nĆ£o incluĆda
Main attractions
- A colonial town reconstructed in the 1960s after the original settlement was flooded by the TominĆ© reservoir ā the replacement village was built in a unified whitewashed colonial style with terracotta roofs and cobbled streets that give it an architectural coherence rare even among genuinely historic Colombian towns
- The nearby Laguna de Guatavita ā a perfectly circular lake in a volcanic crater in the Eastern Andes ā is the origin of the El Dorado legend; Muisca ceremonies conducted on the lake involved the chief covering himself in gold dust and casting golden offerings into the water, a ritual that sent Spanish conquistadors searching the continent for a city of gold for two centuries
Take note
- The laguna requires a guided walk of approximately 45 minutes each way through Andean moorland (pĆ”ramo) ā sturdy footwear and a waterproof layer are essential; visitor numbers are capped to protect the ecosystem and entry tickets should be booked in advance

Know more about your day trip
Zipaquira lies about 30 miles (49 km) north of Bogota, with a drive of roughly 1 hour depending on city traffic exiting the capital. From Zipaquira, Guatavita is another 35 miles (56 km) northeast, taking around 1 hour 15 minutes through the Andean savanna. The route offers scenic views of the Cundinamarca highlands as you climb above Bogota's plateau into traditional rural Colombia.
The laguna requires a guided walk of approximately 45 minutes each way through Andean moorland known as paramo. The trail involves steady climbing at high altitude, around 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level, which can affect visitors not acclimatized to elevation. Sturdy footwear, layered clothing, and a waterproof jacket are essential. Visitor numbers are capped to protect the ecosystem, so book entry tickets in advance.
Zipaquira and the surrounding region are known for traditional Colombian highland fare. Try ajiaco, a hearty chicken and potato soup with corn and herbs, or sample sobrebarriga, slow-cooked flank steak. The new town of Guatavita has small restaurants serving fresh trout from the reservoir. Locally produced cheeses and arepas make excellent quick bites between stops, and warm aguapanela with cheese is a traditional drink to try.
Laguna de Guatavita, a perfectly circular lake in a volcanic crater in the Eastern Andes, is the origin of the El Dorado legend. Muisca ceremonies conducted on the lake involved the chief covering himself in gold dust and casting golden offerings into the water. This ritual sent Spanish conquistadors searching the South American continent for a city of gold for two centuries, ultimately fueling some of the most ambitious exploration in colonial history.
The Salt Cathedral is an active salt mine transformed into an underground sanctuary 656 feet (200 meters) below the surface. A sequence of fourteen chapels representing the Stations of the Cross leads through salt-carved tunnels to the main cathedral nave, an enormous chamber 246 feet (75 meters) long and 59 feet (18 meters) high. The 52-foot main altar cross, carved directly into the salt rock face, is one of the most striking pieces of religious architecture in South America.
The new town of Guatavita was reconstructed in the 1960s after the original settlement was flooded by the Tomine Reservoir. It was rebuilt in a unified whitewashed colonial style with terracotta roofs and cobbled streets, giving it an architectural coherence rare even among genuinely historic Colombian towns. The town's central square, artisan shops, and lakeside views make it a pleasant place to stop before or after the laguna walk.
The Salt Cathedral maintains a constant cool temperature underground, much cooler than Bogota's surface weather, so always bring a sweater or light jacket regardless of the season. Comfortable closed-toe walking shoes with good grip are essential because surfaces can be uneven and occasionally damp. The full route involves substantial walking, including some inclines, so wear something practical rather than fashionable for this part of the day.
The Colombian Andes maintain mild temperatures year-round, but the dry seasons from December to March and July to August offer the most reliable weather for the Guatavita walk. Rain can make the paramo trail muddy and reduce visibility at the laguna. The Salt Cathedral is unaffected by weather since it's underground. Bogota's high altitude means cool mornings and evenings throughout the year, so always pack layers.
