Zipaquira and the Salt Cathedral


Declared by the Colombian government as the “Number One” tourist attraction in the nation, the Salt Cathedral must be seen to be believed. The vast chambers, carved out of a still-working salt mine, hold moving art representing the 12 “Stations of the Cross” (Christ’s Passion), and chapels, plus a magnificent multi-chambered cathedral nave. New at the site are a reflecting pool, expanded gift shop area (with emeralds starting at $5), and an enjoyably silly 3-D movie on the construction of the salt mine.

Tours depart every day. Cost: $89 per person for groups of two or more. $119 for one person.
