Activity itinerary

Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Get inside this architectural gem carved in the heart of an ancient salt mine, exploited since pre-Columbian times. The tour begins at Viacrucis, an underground corridor with 14 stations sculpted from salt rock by miners, reflecting Jesus’ path to crucifixion. Then you will arrive at the Dome, where you can admire the largest salt-cut cross in the world, an icon of faith and art. This masterpiece combines history, culture and devotion, being recognized as the First Wonder of Colombia. Discover a unique legacy underground!
Plaza de la Independecia
  • 10m
Before becoming a symbol of history and freedom, this space housed the old market square. It was inaugurated in 2010 as a tribute to the independence and legacy of Antonio Nariño, whose statue stands in the center holding the book representing the Human Rights of the people. Around the square, the flags symbolize the countries that achieved their freedom under the leadership of Simon Bolivar.
Plaza de los Comuneros
  • 10m
This iconic colonial square is the heart of Zipaquirá and the scene of the first revolution of America, which gave it its current name. Surrounded by imposing colonial buildings such as the Diocesan Cathedral, Government House and Municipal Palace, it reflects the historical and architectural wealth of the city. Its cobblestone streets and well-preserved architecture invite you to immerse yourself in the past, while its vibrant atmosphere keeps it a meeting point for locals and visitors.
Centro Cultural Casa del Nobel Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Pass by)
We will go through the school where Gabriel García Márquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera, studied as a boarder until his graduation in 1946. Today, this place is the Casa del Nobel Cultural Center, a space dedicated to art and the memory of the writer
Estacion de Zipaquira (Pass by)
Built in 1926 during the presidency of General Pedro Nel Ospina, this station —known as Tres Esquinas — was a fundamental part of the Savannah Railway, boosting commerce and industry in the region. Its elegant neoclassical French design reflects the importance it had in its time of splendour, between the 1920s and 1970s. Declared a national architectural heritage, it still retains its historical essence as a witness to the development of Zipaquirá.
