Salt and Mirrors - My group was lucky enough to be guided by Carlos from Bogota to Nemocón and back! It was a 3-part trip: salt mine museum, salt mine tour, and Nemocón exploration. The first 2 were co-guided by someone from the salt mine. Carlos gave us plenty of local trivia on the way there, and we got into the salt mine on time.
The mine was incredible! We loved walking around and seeing the mirrored water, the salt dripping from the ceiling, and the movie set. Very unique experience. We stopped for some local pastries on the way back as well.
This was on a weekday, and Nemocón was surprisingly devoid of tourists - it gave it a personal feel. Maybe all of the tourists were crammed into the cathedral instead?
Keep in mind that there is a lot of traffic during rush hour, so you may get back late if you choose a later tour (it was almost 7 hours for us all told, and we left at noon) but that wasn't the tour company's fault :)
