Book a transfer from Bogota to Zipaquira — home to the extraordinary Salt Cathedral, an underground church carved 200 meters deep inside a salt mine, considered Colombia's most remarkable architectural achievement.
The 50 km journey takes 1 to 1.5 hours heading north from Bogota through the Sabana de Bogota — a high-altitude plateau at 2,600 meters. The route passes through suburban areas and small towns on the northern outskirts of the capital.
The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira is built within the tunnels of an active salt mine 200 meters underground. The descent through dramatically lit tunnels leads to a massive underground nave that can hold 8,000 people, with crosses and religious sculptures carved from salt rock, illuminated by colored lighting. The cathedral was voted the #1 Wonder of Colombia. Above ground, Zipaquira's charming colonial plaza and the Salt Museum provide additional context to the area's 500-year mining history.
