Discover Zipaquirá: Tours, Tickets & Salt Cathedral Adventures

Just an hour away from Bogotá, Zipaquirá enchants visitors with its charming colonial streets, lively main square, and one of the world’s most unique attractions: the Salt Cathedral. Surrounded by lush mountains and filled with local flavor, it’s the perfect escape for those seeking culture, history, and a genuine Colombian experience.

A Glimpse into the Past

Originally inhabited by the indigenous Muisca people, Zipaquirá flourished thanks to its rich salt deposits. The town was later shaped by Spanish colonists, and today you can still see traces of this blending of traditions in its architecture and customs. The famous Salt Cathedral stands as a testament to both the area's natural resources and its spiritual heritage.

When to Visit

The weather here is pleasant year-round, with mild temperatures and little variation. However, the driest months, from December to March, are ideal for strolling the town and exploring the surrounding countryside, as the chances of rain are lower.

Is the Salt Cathedral worth visiting?

Absolutely! Descending into the vast underground chambers carved into a salt mountain is an unforgettable experience. The cathedral is both a place of worship and a stunning piece of art, showcasing incredible craftsmanship and creativity.
