Zipaquirá & Cajicá Day Trip by Sabana Sightseeing Train
Activity Details
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Bogotá to go to the Sabana Station, where our adventure aboard the Sabana sightseeing train will begin. Let's go!
Once at the station, we'll be greeted by a lively group of musicians and train staff, who will welcome us amidst notes of Andean folklore, carranga, and even a serenade. We'll board the train, powered by a steam or diesel locomotive, and begin to travel through the Bogotá savannah while enjoying the lively atmosphere on board.
After approximately 2 hours, we'll arrive in Zipaquirá. Here, you'll have 2 hours of free time to visit the famous Salt Cathedral, an underground jewel built inside a mine. We'll also take a guided tour of 1 hour and 15 minutes through the historic center of the city, where you can taste typical delicacies such as almojábanas, arepas, or the traditional masato.
Afterward, we'll take the train back to Cajicá. During the 30-minute ride, we'll continue to enjoy live music and cultural performances that will immerse us even more in the traditions of the Cundiboyacá highlands. It'll be an experience for all the senses!
Once in Cajicá, we'll head to a country restaurant where we will enjoy an Andean Colombian lunch. You can choose between an ajiaco santafereño or a hearty bandeja campesina. Afterward, you'll have an hour of free time to explore the town at your own pace, admire the scenery, and buy handicrafts or typical products.
Finally, we'll take the train back to Bogota while continuing to enjoy the festive atmosphere on board. Once we arrive at the Sabana Station, we'll take you back to your hotel, where we'll say goodbye after a total of 8 to 9 hours of sightseeing.
