Transport. Salt Cathedral Zipaquirá - with a guide
Enjoy a private trip to Zipaquirá, where you will discover one of Colombia’s most remarkable wonders: the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral. Located 180 meters underground, this mine transformed into a church offers a unique experience that combines history, art, and architecture.
Upon entering the Salt Cathedral, you will explore an underground space where the church blends seamlessly with the natural salt formations. During the tour, the audio guide will explain the process of salt formation, the history of the mine, and how this monument was built within the caverns of the mountain.
You will have 2 hours to explore the cathedral and its surroundings, where you will see large sculptures, crosses, and architectural details that stand out for their size and beauty. One of the most impressive sights is the country’s largest cross, located in one of the cathedral's main halls—a monumental work that stands out due to its commanding presence.
Every corner of the mine has something special, and the lighting in the tunnels highlights the shapes and natural environment surrounding this unique place.
At the end of the tour, you will enjoy the light show, a visual experience projected at the end of the tunnels, creating an atmosphere filled with color and magic. This visit will allow you to connect with the history, art, and spirituality that make the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral a truly special place.
