Combine two of Colombia’s most iconic attractions in a single, unforgettable day trip from Bogotá. Journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Andean highlands to explore deep-rooted Muisca indigenous mythology, stunning natural reserves, and incredible architectural wonders.
Your tour begins with a scenic drive to Sacred Lake Guatavita, a serene crater lake hidden high in the Andes. Accompanied by your expert guide, hike along nature trails surrounded by native páramo vegetation while learning about the Muisca civilization. Discover the true story behind the Legend of El Dorado, where ancient rulers covered themselves in gold dust and offered sacred treasures to the lagoon.
Next, head to the historic colonial town of Zipaquirá to venture deep underground into the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, recognized as Colombia’s first architectural wonder. Walk through vast salt-carved tunnels and cavernous chambers located 180 meters (600 feet) below the earth's surface. Marvel at the intricate salt carvings, impressive underground chapels, and the illuminated main altar before enjoying free time to explore Zipaquirá’s charming main square.
