About this plan
Want to leave Bogotá and see two iconic spots in one day? This tour pairs Guatavita Lagoon, the birthplace of the El Dorado legend, with the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, a church carved 180 meters underground in old salt mines.
The trip starts at your hotel in Bogotá and heads north. First you stop at Guatavita, where a guide leads you on a two-hour walk around the lagoon, a sacred Muisca site. Then you continue to Zipaquirá, get free time for lunch, and explore the Salt Cathedral on your own with a Spanish audio guide.
You can pick from two options: one with tickets to the lagoon and the cathedral included, or one without so you buy them on your own. Check the source for the exact price and schedule.
