Explore two of Colombia's most important tourist attractions, both related to salt mining, on a day trip from Bogotá. Visit the Nemocón Salt Mine and the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, each with its own unique characteristics.

Start your day with a visit to the Nemocón Salt Mine, located in Nemocón, Cundinamarca, about 80 kilometers north of Bogotá. The mine has been in operation since the 13th century, with significant development occurring in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Explore the underground galleries and see natural salt formations. Learn about the salt extraction process that has been carried out in the region. Admire the "Salt Christ," a salt sculpture carved into one of the walls of the mine, and the Salt Mirror Room, a salt formation that creates an impressive visual effect.

Next, head to the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, located in Zipaquirá, Cundinamarca, about 50 kilometers north of Bogotá. The cathedral was built in a salt mine that had been exploited since the 19th century. The first salt cathedral was inaugurated in 1954, but the current version, which was inaugurated in 1995, is the most modern and well-known.

Marvel at the cathedral's impressive underground architecture, with a design that incorporates salt as the main material. The cathedral is divided into different sections, including the main nave, the Stations of the Cross, and various chapels, all illuminated with lighting that enhances the characteristics of the salt.

In addition to the architecture, the Salt Cathedral offers a unique spiritual and cultural experience, with an educational tour of the history and importance of salt in the region.
