Join one of our professional guides on a journey that takes you deep beneath the earth and into Colombia’s spiritual heart. Travel across the scenic Bogotá savanna, where the landscape reveals stories of history and tradition.

Descend 180 meters underground to discover the magnificent Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, the world’s first underground temple — a masterpiece of faith, light, and architecture carved inside an ancient salt mine. Walk through its 14 Stations of the Cross, admire the majestic dome and the illuminated cross at its center, and learn how miners transformed salt and stone into a sacred monument.

Each step uncovers shimmering walls, crystal-clear pools, and optical illusions that blend mysticism with natural beauty.

A unique experience that connects history and wonder — deep in the soul of Colombia.
