I had a great time with Diego and Andres. Diego was a great host and shared his knowledge and passion about Bogotá. The trip to the lagoon and Salt Cathedral were incredible as well.

A great day trip to do from Bogota. Two very different activities one is all about nature the other is human creativity.
So much fun! Camilo...

Our guide Sebastian was AMAZING! Even though things went wrong that were out of his control (mainly lots and lots of traffic creating delays and an extra long day) Sebastian always had a smile and was always telling us facts about where we were. He answered all our questions about the tour and about Bogota! Was really impressed as he texted via WhatsApp when he was about to pick us up (our last tour forgot to pick us up, so it really impressed me).
Fun
