About this activity

Travel from Bogotá with a professional guide through the rural landscapes of the savannah to the charming village of Nemocón, where an ancient salt mine reveals a hidden world underground. Descend 80 meters to explore its illuminated tunnels, observe the sparkles of salt crystals, and marvel at the “Espejo de Agua” (Water Mirror), an underground lake that seems to stop time.

This mine, featured in the movie The 33, blends engineering, history, and natural wonder.

Then continue to the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, Colombia's spiritual jewel carved 180 meters underground. Walk through its 14 Stations of the Cross, admire the central dome, and experience how faith and rock merge into one monumental work.

Amid mystical lights, salt sculptures, and echoing footsteps, you'll see why it's considered the First Wonder of Colombia.

A journey into the heart of the earth that lifts the spirit, revealing the greatness of a country that shines from its roots.
