Overview

This unique city experience offers a chance to explore the fascinating world of salt in Colombia. You'll start your journey at the Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira, an underground cathedral carved out of salt in a former salt mine. You'll marvel at the intricate carvings and impressive architecture as you learn about the history of salt mining in the region. Next, you'll visit Plaza de los Comuneros, a square in the heart of Zipaquira, where you can relax and take in the sights and sounds of this charming town. With so much to see and do, this city experience is truly one-of-a-kind. Finally, you'll visit the Mina de Sal de Nemocon, another former salt mine that is now open to tourists. Here, you'll have the chance to see how salt was mined and learn about the important role it played in the local economy.

Salt Mine Holiday

Published on Nov, 2019

Four of us went to visit the salt cathedral and salt mines. The cathedral was beautiful and very well presented. The salt mines were much more interactive and realistic. The guide was knowledgeable and had a great personality. We all enjoyed Juan's company and his explanations along the way. He greeted us with waters and local pastries, i would call a cheese stick but better. Juan's English was clear and easy to understand. He even pointed us in the direction of a local restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious! I recommend anyone visiting Colombia visit the Nemocon Salt Mines and I hope that you all will have Juan as your guide. I myself am looking forward to returning to Colombia soon and will be asking for Juan as a tour guide again.
