Description

On our Tour you will be able to see directly the only underground cathedral in the world located in Colombia, built 180m underground, it is a mega structure that deserves to be among the most impressive in our country and on the planet. The entire structure of this cathedral is carved from salt from the largest salt rock deposit in the world. During the tour there are several stations where you will see the interpretation of the Christian way of the cross, in addition to the central dome where Eucharists are held, intervened by an amazing artistic work of sculpture and lighting, and also natural structures typical of salt deposits, a set of elements that will leave you breathless. Once you finish the tour of the salt mine, the town of Zipaquirá awaits us to visit its central square, some of its beautiful colonial-looking streets where we will find the ideal place to enjoy a typical lunch.

Yes and No

The salt cathedral is nice, a truly unique work of underground architecture. I can’t give five stars for two main reasons: If you, as a tour company, provide a guide that speaks English you must be 100% sure that their level of speaking and understanding is up to standards and this was not our case. Even if our guide was very kind and polite and tried to do his best his English skills were let’s say not that great. The other aspect is transportation: nobody wants a Ferrari of course but when you book a private tour you should at least get a decent car not a run down one. Those are my pointers for the future.

A private tour will always be worth it

Jhon was an excellent guide; he explained every detail from the moment we left Bogotá and about the Salt Cathedral. Your private tour was very pleasant, with all the patience in the world and suggestions on where to shop.
