Guatavita and the Salt Cathedral
This tour is an excellent combination of mystical and truly unique experiences.
You’ll begin with a visit to Guatavita Lagoon, a sacred site for the Muisca culture and the place that inspired the Legend of El Dorado.
Afterwards, you’ll cross the savanna to reach the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, which is considered the first wonder of Colombia. With its impressive architecture completely carved out of salt, this underground temple will provide a surprising experience as you visit the virtual reality theatre, the water mirror, and the largest subterranean cross in the world.
