Itinerary
After leaving Bogotá, travel to the salt cathedral of Zipaquirá and admire one of the most extraordinary achievements of Colombian architecture. The salt cathedral of Zipaquirá, built in the depths of the largest salt rock reserve in the world, is a mystical place where the pre-Columbian Muisca culture, the environment, and religious heritage are mixed together.
Head to the colonial town of Zipaquirá to take a walk through the main square. Admire the historic buildings that are national monuments of Colombia. (Only at the ''Hosted Experience''option)
Founded in 1606 and still has a colonial appearance, especially in this, the main square, where Colombia's independence movement takes its first steps and some old buildings with wooden balconies are located as witnesses of the time. (Only at the ''Hosted Experience''option)

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).
