Highlights
Join us on this full day trip to discover the legends behind an amazing salt mine! Once the town where many indigenous people lived, now Nemocón keeps the story of a hidden treasure that is connected with the prophecy of the arrival of the Spaniards. As part of the experience, you will see a small museum full of interesting information about the creation of the salt mine and the importance of the land we will visit. Then, the walk inside the mine will be about an hour, where you will see the world’s largest salt heart, the freshest water mirrors, as well as the set of the movie “The 33,” reminding us how risky the mining work is.

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).
