Visit the first Wonder of Colombia. The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá. For a long time, the indigenous people obtained salt from Zipaquirá. This material allowed them to exchange for gold, food, feathers, etc. This trade changed the world of the natives and gave them access to many riches, which attracted the first Spaniards to settle. With the arrival of the 19th century, came the method of salt extraction by means of machines. The miners have always been very devoted so they had a space to pray. Later this space expanded. In 1995 the underground cathedral reopened its doors with many more spaces, sculpture and monumentality. Learn about the Colombian culture, also of the native inhabitants and visit this monument that is one of the most important in the country, also try delicious typical food.

Route
The Salt Cathedral is one of the most important architectural works in Colombia. It is a tribute of the miners to the Virgin and to God. Initially they had an area to pray in their excavations, then it was expanded and sites were built to pray. It was until 1995, the year the new Cathedral was opened. It is built inside a mountain, it is all underground and represents the appreciation of the miners of each station of the viacrusis and the magnificence of God: It also has a very impressive and unique interior dome, sculptures and religious representations. It also has a water mirror and interactive rooms to learn about the inhabitants of the area and the extraction of salt. It also has places to buy souvenirs.
The plaza is in the center of Zipaquirá, adorned by colonial houses and the Diocesan Cathedral. The architecture will be appreciated and some words of the native inhabitants of the area (the Muiscas) will be known.

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).
