On the outskirts of Bogotá, there are two beautiful old towns worth visiting: Zipaquirá and Guatavita. Come with us and explore their treasures with this two-in-one day trip. First, start with the Salt Cathedral Zipaquirá Tour, a must-see destination and the only underground Catholic church in the world. Then, venture into Guatavita’s natural park to learn about its cultural significance and the legend of El Dorado. Choose the option with lunch included and enjoy a day full of contrasts.
Bogotá and its surrounding villages (and the entire country) are deeply rooted in indigenous heritage.
