Highlights
A great combined tour that offers a perfect experience of Colombian culture, history and cuisine, starting with exploring the underground wonders of the Zipaquirá salt mine! It is an ancient salt mine converted into a dazzling cathedral with a unique play of light and shadow located 180 meters underground that represents one of the most outstanding achievements of Colombian architecture, as well as being truly a faith for miners. You will have a guided tour through the Stations of the Cross (14 in total), which is a representation of the last steps of Jesus, ending in the Great Central Dome (a three-part cavernous underground cathedral) where the largest underground salt cross is located. Then we will go Andrés Carne de Res in Chia, where you can enjoy a variety of delicious Colombian dishes, accompanied by lively music, dancing and a local party!

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).
