Highlights
Join one of our professional guides on a journey that takes you deep beneath the earth and into Colombia’s spiritual heart. Travel across the scenic Bogotá savanna, where the landscape reveals stories of history and tradition. Descend 180 meters underground to discover the magnificent Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, the world’s first underground temple — a masterpiece of faith, light, and architecture carved inside an ancient salt mine. Walk through its 14 Stations of the Cross, admire the majestic dome and the illuminated cross at its center, and learn how miners transformed salt and stone into a sacred monument. Each step uncovers shimmering walls, crystal-clear pools, and optical illusions that blend mysticism with natural beauty. A unique experience that connects history and wonder — deep in the soul of Colombia.

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).
