Description

Embark on an unforgettable experience on the **Salt Cathedral and Zipaquirá Tour**, where history, art and spirituality converge in a breathtaking setting. This adventure will take us to discover the majestic **Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá**, an architectural and artistic work unique in the world, carved in the depths of an ancient salt mine. **Salt Cathedral The Salt Cathedral, considered the first wonder of Colombia, is a striking subway space that combines symbols of faith and contemporary art. As we descend 180 meters underground, we will explore a series of Stations of the Cross sculpted in salt, along with chapels and sculptures that evoke a deep spirituality. The dim lights, passageways and colossal structures make the atmosphere both majestic and introspective. On the tour, our expert tour guide will share fascinating stories about its construction, from pre-Columbian times to its renovation as a cathedral and tourist destination. You will learn how this monumental work pays homage to the region's mining history and has become a site of pilgrimage and artistic admiration. **Town of Zipaquirá Leaving the cathedral, we will continue the tour in the picturesque town of **Zipaquirá**. This place, besides being home to the Salt Cathedral, is famous for its colonial architecture and cultural history. We will walk through its cobblestone streets, explore the **Plaza de los Comuneros**, surrounded by historic buildings that evoke the colonial era, and learn about its role in Colombia's independence. We will have a close look at the church of San Antonio, the Salt Museum and enjoy the large houses with colorful facades and wooden balconies. There will also be time (on your part) to taste the typical gastronomy, such as arepas de chócolo and ajiaco santafereño, and buy local handicrafts. This tour is perfect for those looking to connect with Colombia's history and culture, and for those who want a unique experience in one of the country's most emblematic destinations.
