Excellent Private Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Excellent private guided tour with our knowledgeable tour guide Diana who took us through the history of the salt mines. We were also lucky enough to join a small guided group at Lake Guatavita (as required by the park) which provided insight into the history of the Muisca tribe.

Private tour for a shared price!

Published on Mar, 2025

We booked the shared tour option with no lunch, but since it was a weekday, we ended up with a private tour! Andres was very kind - he treated us to locally famous arepas, found us an English-speaking guide for the Guatavita Lake hike, and took us to an excellent restaurant with vegetarian options for lunch (not included). He also let us have extra time at the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral, to fully explore the underground complex and additional exhibits. Overall fantastic experience!

Amazing Experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a great trip and Camilo was a wonderful guide. We were not rushed at all and Camilo told us a lot about the area and the things we would be seeing. The Lake was incredible and the history behind it is fascinating. The Salt Cathedral was beyond anything we could imagine. We would highly recommend this trip.

Salt cathedral and Lake Guatavita

Published on Feb, 2025

Perfect day out with Lorena as our guide and Guillermo as our driver! A beautiful tour of the stations of the cross in the underground salt cathedral and a hike up the mountain to see the beautiful views and lake Guatavita. Tasty food also!

Perfect day

Published on Feb, 2025

We loved every minute of this trip. Our guide Katy and driver Carmelo were exceptional. They had great knowledge of the sites and Colombia and nothing was too much for them. The tour itself is also an also great - wonderful attractions. Must do four.
