Catedral De Sal

At the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira, you’ll descend into an underground world carved entirely out of salt. As you walk through the impressive tunnels and chambers, your guide will explain the history of the salt mines and how they were transformed into one of Colombia’s most iconic landmarks. You’ll explore the Stations of the Cross, admire the main altar 180 meters underground, and discover stunning salt sculptures, illuminated walls, and massive columns that create a peaceful, almost spiritual atmosphere. The tour includes time to enjoy the cathedral’s light show, visit its small salt museum, and browse the gift shop with local artisan products made from salt and stone. Whether you're there for the art, history, or wonder, the experience is unforgettable.
