Unique experience. Unlike anything I've seen before. Worth the trip.

The trip was very complete. It met expectations. Omar's care was excellent. He has knowledge of the issues surrounding the tour and was very diligent with us.
¡Muchas gracias, Oldemar! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que el tour cumplió con sus expectativas y que disfrutaron una experiencia completa. Omar es un guía excelente, muy atento y con gran conocimiento de la historia y cultura de Zipaquirá. Gracias por recomendarnos. ¡Siempre bienvenidos a vivir más tours con nosotros!
It was a beautiful experience even for a non religious person like myself. Whatever your creed you will appreciate this salt cathedral nestled into a mine!
Good package with just the transfer and tickets to the salt mine. The driver gave good info as we drove (only in Spanish) and arranged entry to the mine - with audio cruises in English. You then tour the mine yourself (or with a guide in Spanish). He then offered for us to have lunch in town (at own cost) or to look around town - which we did.
We had a wonderful guide, Nicholas, who showed us the towns of Guatavita and Zipaquira, along with the sacred lagoon and the Salt Cathedral. He explained a lot of Colombian history, geography and is very knowledgeable about the native peoples. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful trip with Nick to the Laguna de Guatavita and the Salt Cathedral. Nick is very knowledgeable and was always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour.
My wife and I took the full-day tour to the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral and the Laguna de Guatavita, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip to Colombia. It perfectly blends incredible engineering, deep history, and stunning natural beauty. Our guide Lorena was excellent, the transport was comfortable, and everything ran on time.
Excellent all day tour. You can appreciate the country life in addition to the attractions. Lunch is in a restaurant where locals eat with typical very rich food.
Muy buenos días Nos alegra que pudo disfrutar y sentirse cómo una local más está es nuestra meta que los visitantes puedan convertirse en locales por un día y disfrutar Colombia desde adentro
Lorena (guide) and Omar (driver) are an exceptional team who truly define the adventure you’ll experience during the tour. They expertly adapt to challenges like traffic and large crowds at museums while keeping the schedule on track. We booked the tour just the night before, and they responded promptly, ensuring everything was perfectly prepared. We were extremely satisfied with the service and the genuine passion both Lorena and Omar brought to the tour. Highly recommend!
