Make the most of your stay in Colombia with a fully customizable private day trip from Bogotá.

This experience can be booked on its own or added as an extension to your transfer.

Suggested Itinerary

Begin your ride by leaving the city behind and heading into the Andean countryside at 1Scenic Countryside Drive. As the scenery changes from urban streets to open landscapes and traditional towns, your driver will share insights into rural life and the historical importance of the region surrounding Bogotá.

Continue toward 2Zipaquirá Town, a charming colonial town known for its relaxed pace and welcoming atmosphere. Here, you’ll have time to explore the streets, enjoy local shops, or take a short break before heading to the area’s main highlight.

For a memorable centerpiece of your day trip, you’ll visit 3Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, one of Colombia’s most extraordinary landmarks. Located deep underground within a former salt mine, this impressive site combines religious symbolism, architectural creativity, and a unique setting carved entirely from salt. Your driver will provide helpful guidance and tips to help you make the most of your visit while keeping the experience flexible and comfortable.

After your visit, enjoy a relaxed return journey to Bogotá, taking in the countryside views along the way.

At the end of your sightseeing ride, your friendly Welcome Driver will return you comfortably to your accommodation.

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended—the underground walkways and tunnels are best explored at an easy pace.
