Additional Information

Carved entirely from salt, the Salt Cathedral of Colombia is regarded as the country’s first wonder. Situated 180 meters beneath the earth’s surface, this underground wonder provides a one-of-a-kind escape from your daily routine. Originating as a humble mine with a tiny chapel built by its miners, it has transformed into a must-visit spectacle for tourists. From the Stations of the Cross coverage to the Coru, a vantage point for viewing the world’s largest subterranean cross measuring 16 meters in height and 10 meters in breadth, each step inside the Cathedral unfurls another remarkable surprise.

Salt Cathedral Zipaquira - I had a nice experience in this tour package. Our guide (Esteban) is kind, approachable and accommodating. My experience of many tours that i had before, this is one of the best one. It makes a difference if the guide of the tour is enjoyable and enthusiastic. It’s my first time to booked a tour in tripadvisor and it wil not be the last..

It's more than you can imagine - It is a mandatory visit if you travel to Bogota, full of symbolism yes, but it is a spectacular work. It is advisable to arrive early and watch the video of the auditorium, which is very worthwhile to better understand what this project has been like. Then back to the center which is nice.

Super nice to visit! - Very impressive, the guides are very clear, the place is amazing. The good thing about going with transportation + guide is much more comfortable. The town is also very beautiful and worth visiting.

You get what it says... - You get what it says you'll get, but the Cathedral is underwhelming (and incredibly touristy. It was made just for that), the walk in town is basically just a rushed look at the two squares and the restaurant for lunch is not great.

Will never use Viator again. Wasted time and money for no-show. - No show, wasted entire morning. No response, no contact, dangerous to use when traveling to new country and they leave you stranded not spending the language.
