Experience a journey that connects the spiritual, the natural, and the ancestral. You will depart from Bogotá heading north, crossing valleys and mountains that were once trade routes between the ancient Muisca peoples. In Zipaquirá, you will descend 180 meters underground to discover the imposing Salt Cathedral, a temple carved out of salt rock that combines art, faith, and wonder. Upon exiting, you will enjoy a typical Colombian lunch, with authentic flavors such as potatoes in brine and traditional ajiaco soup.
The journey continues to Guatavita Lake, an emerald green mirror surrounded by legends and mystery. There you will learn about the Muisca ritual that gave rise to the myth of El Dorado, where the chiefs, covered in gold dust, offered treasures to their gods by immersing themselves in its waters. A journey that connects you with the living history of Colombia, between the underground silence and the sacred magic of the mountains.
