He/she will be waiting around 3 hours outside the Cathedral.

Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira
Stroll through over 2.5 km of tunnels of a former salt mine as your audio guide allows you engaging insights into the carving of the 14 chapels connected by an illuminated labyrinth. Its lighting creates a ravishing experience that is almost magical—even for non-religious people.

Hear in-depth commentary on the Cathedral's enthralling architecture, history, and cultural value. Gaze at the exceptional design of the marble sculptures carved by an Italian artist.

Finally, enjoy the captivating reflecting effect produced by the Water Mirrors and the Lighting Show.

3 hours • Admission Ticket Included

Plaza de la Independecia
Once you have finished the tour in the Salt Cathedral, your driver will take you back to Zipaquira, so that you can have lunch and stroll through the colonial town before heading back to Bogota.
