Half-Day Trip to Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral from Bogotá

Town Square of Zipaquira

Discover the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral on this tour from Bogotá! After pickup from your hotel, head north to the town of Zipaquirá. Once here, venture into a salt mine located more than 656 feet (200 meters) below the surface and admire this impressive piece of Colombian architecture.

Head into the mountains of Zipaquirá to visit two underground cathedrals carved out of salt. Learn from your expert guide how the salt cathedrals wwere originally built in the salt mine. The 246-foot long (75-meter) Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral first opened in 1954, and was then closed for safety reasons. But in 1991, the structure was rebuilt and 250,000 tons of salt was removed for the re-opening. Explore the dimly lit tunnels of the mine as your guided around the cathedral. Visit the cathedral’s three main sections: the Stations of the Cross, the dome and the three naves. After exploring the salt cathedral, you'll get a chance to walk around the town of Zipaquirá before heading back to your Bogotá hotel.

My parents and I had a wonderful to to Zipaquira Salt Catheral in October, 2012. Our guide, Claudia Valencia Chaljub, was extremely knowledgeable, prompt in her pick up and return to the hotel, and professional in her tour. She spoke English very well which was helpful to my parents! Thank you!

There are only two salt cathedrals in the world - one in Wieliczka in Poland and one in Bogota. I had been to the one in Poland already so I didn't want to miss the one in Bogota. The tour was great and well worth the visit - it was done privately and with an excellent guide. This salt cathedral is a bit different as you walk down into the chapels and towards the altar (you have to take an elevator down in the one in Poland). The sheer size of the place is incredible and it's absolutely breathtaking. You can take your time strolling through the different chapels and small rooms before exploring the main area of the cathedral and the impressive altar. Well worth a visit!
