★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 551 reviews · 12 hours · from $61

Day trip from Bogotá to Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral and Lake Guatavita with Muisca legends, guided stories, and included entrance tickets.

“I tend to be quite strict and sceptical about organised tours, but I think that Sebastian and Fabian changed my opinion for good. This was so far the best trip I’ve been on, everything was amazing and so much fun! Great communication, incredibly nice guide and driver, very patient and totally made sure we feel safe in a foreign country. At the same time, I feel like I’ve learned more about Colombia and the life here in just one day and I’ve already been here for almost 2 weeks. Thank you so much!! 12/10 👏🏼”

Full-day Bogotá tour to Guatavita and Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, with Muisca lagoon walk, scenic stops, and hotel pickup.

“The attractions of tour; visiting the town of Guatavita, hiking up to see the magnificent view of Guatavita Lagoon and the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, was such as amazing opportunity. It was great to do two contrasting experiences in one day, first the Guatavita Lagoon which was over 3000 meters above sea level, and the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral which was 120 meters below sea level. However, this is the cheapest tour for a reason. Unfortunately, we were the last to be picked up and got the worst seats on the bus. I hit my head on the metal luggage rack several times as we were approaching Guatavita lake as the road…”

Jesus the driver did a great job maneuvering the bus through crowded streets, especially during the evening rush. It was a very full day and completely worth the price. Hi wou I d hghly recommend it to anyone. One note, the hike to the top of the lagoon was a bit intense and would be daunting for elderly with health conditions or those with l limb challenges. But I am 73 and I did fine. My health is good.”

From Bogotá, visit the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá and Lake Guatavita on a guided day trip, with tickets and hotel pickup.

“Excellent full day tour. Did this along with the same tour operator’s 7hour tour of Bogota and it was a great combination. Our guide was Jose Vasquez… we were one native Spanish speaker and one English, both passable but not perfect in the other language. He happily switched back and forth between languages as needed for us to both understand everything, which was very much appreciated. (Some guides previously have told us to pick one language only!) The lagoon has a great story, and the unusual vegetation was beautiful. The guide also knew a ton about the different plants. The salt cathedral was amazing also. Highly recommended if you have…”

“Had a good tour overall. Guatavita is beautiful but you have to join another tour group once you get there. The pictures of the salt cathedral don't do it justice, it's great. I passed on the audio guide and just explored. My guide Diego was good and accomondative. You could maybe do everything solo, just know traffic is a beast.”
