Unlike other tours that bundle extras you may not need, the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral Express Tour focuses on what matters most: comfortable round-trip transport, your entry ticket, and the official audio guide. This budget-friendly option gives you the freedom to explore Colombia’s First Wonder at your own pace, without being rushed by a group or guide. With 2–2.5 hours inside the Cathedral, you’ll have plenty of time to discover its illuminated tunnels, chapels, and monumental cross. It’s the simplest, most affordable, and most flexible way to experience this world-famous underground marvel from Bogotá.

Guillermo is the best!! Beware this is a lot of time sitting in a car (obviously) so bring a book or something to keep yourself entertained. Our driver gave lots of helpful info along the way and was so nice to Highly recommend booking this tour, especially since it includes a ticket & he will show you where to go.

Really cool experience to Andres Carne de Res. Went with my wife and my brother and we had a blast from the start. You meet at a local hostel in the Candelaria (historic section of the city) and hang for about 30 mins meeting the other folks from all over the world who will be joining you on your adventure before getting on the bus and taking the ~hour long journey to the restaurant in Chía. Along the way you’re given endless rum and coke and they’re blasting music and generally having fun. Once you get there you get priority entrance and get to experience Andres before heading back to the city around last call time. Great guides (shout out to Daniel!!!) and overall a hit!
