1. The lagoon was one of the most sacred of the Muiscas, since the ritual of investiture of the new Zipa (Cacique) was carried out there; According to legend, he was riding on a richly decorated reed raft; his body was covered entirely with powdered gold; At his feet they placed a large quantity of gold and emeralds for him to offer to the gods and lit braziers to burn a kind of incense called moque; The new dignitary was accompanied by four caciques and when the raft reached the center of the lagoon, the people on the banks threw gold objects and precious stones into the water.

2. The Salt Cathedral is an enclosure built inside the salt mines of Zipaquirá, in the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia. The architectural and artistic design of the new Salt Cathedral, is typical of the Bogota architect Roswell Garavito Pearl, which was approved after the choice of the project that contained a total of 44 proposals in a contest called by the Colombian Society of Architects in 1990; while the technical engineering direction was executed by the Bogota engineer Jorge Enrique Castelblanco Reyes. Inside there is a rich artistic collection, especially salt and marble sculptures in an environment full of a deep religious sense that attracts tourists.

About Bogotá

Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.

La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.

Top-ranked sights in Bogotá: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum (Museo Botero), Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
