Salt Cathedral - The Salt Cathedral is absolutely beautiful. You start with the Stations of the Cross where the crosses are carved from the salt of the mine. Then you arrive to the different altars. There are also sculptures and statues of the different Virgin Mary from different countries. Something truly unique! Then we had a two course lunch- first ajiaco a typical delicious soup and then grilled chicken, pork and/ or beef cooked right at the entrance. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable and very nice. Highly recommend this tour!

Salt Cathedral in Zipaquira - Today we had a tour at the Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá, a municipality in the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia. Our guide was David, a very knowledgeable person on the history of this unique facility. He also took us to see a part of the town of Zipaquirá, and for lunch at Brasas del Llano Restaurant, where we had the opportunity to eat Asiago, a soup traditional and hearty dish from Bogotá, served with accompaniments like avocado, capers, cream, and rice. I highly recommend the local tour company, that David works for called “Nomadas Colombia Travel”.
