5.00Nice slow train ride from Bogota to the Salt Cathedral. It was a nice scenic trip. Food and beverages were available on the train along with entrance tickets and a bus ride to the cathedral at additional cost. It was a good day.
Highly Recommeded!

5.00From the stunning Salt Cathedral to the nostalgic ride on the Savannah Train, every moment was filled with awe and beautiful scenery. The combination of these two experiences, along with the punctuality of the staff, made this trip truly unforgettable. It is like a trip back in time to visit the Salt Cathedral and the Savannah Train. Highly recommended.

5.00This tour is a unique experience that combines the beauty of Bogota's landscape with the rich history of the region. The tour starts with a scenic train ride from Bogota, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral, a remarkable underground church built within the tunnels of a salt mine. This architectural marvel is a must-see. Please note that the train operates only on weekends and national holidays.

5.00Taking a train to Zipaquira was an experience in itself. The journey was filled with scenic beauty. The history of Colombia is rich and diverse, and getting to learn about it was truly enlightening. The Salt Cathedral. It's a marvel of architecture and a testament to human ingenuity, built within the depths of a salt mine. The trip was overall lovely, with every aspect of it adding to the charm. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in history, culture, and natural beauty.
