## About this plan

Want to leave Bogotá and pack two plans into one day? This tour covers the best of the Sabana. First, the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, a gem carved inside a salt mine. Then, the party at Andrés Carne de Res in Chía with live music and dancing.

Your hotel in Bogotá is the pickup point, and a guide takes you to the underground temple. You walk through salt corridors, see a carved altar, and view the Stations of the Cross sculptures. After that, you get free time to buy souvenirs in the shopping area before heading to Chía.

At Andrés Carne de Res, a table is waiting for you, along with merengue, salsa, bachata, and an a la carte lunch you pay for on your own. You head back to Bogotá feeling like you did the classic Sabana tour without the hassle.
