Guatavita and Zipaquira guided tour

Embark on an unforgettable journey from Bogota to discover two of Colombia's most fascinating treasures: the sacred Guatavita Lagoon and the imposing Zipaquira Salt Cathedral.

You will walk along ancestral trails in the Chingaza Natural Park, exploring the mysteries of the legend of El Dorado and connecting with the mystical landscape of the Andean páramo.

After the encounter with history and nature, the tour continues in Zipaquirá, where you will marvel at a unique work in the world: a cathedral carved in the depths of a salt mine. This tour is ideal for those who want to know the indigenous, natural and spiritual soul of Colombia in just one day.
