Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral & Guatavita Lagoon Tour

My family and I are very happy with the experience! Sergio and Johana are the best!! Without thinking twice, I would look for them for any other tour!! Worried the whole time that we were okay, and very attentive to the girl! Their level of service is exceptional!!

We absolutely loved our day trip to Guatavita and Zipaquira! Hernan and Rodrigo were extremely accommodating in arranging pickup and were communicative and punctual picking us up at our hotel even though it wasn’t on the original list of pickup options. Far more importantly, Rodrigo is a truly impressive individual as an historian, a story teller and even a philosopher. I greatly enjoyed discussing topics ranging across current politics, Spanish and Colombian history, Christian traditions, art, and more. He answered every question thoroughly and intelligently and we engaged in some very rewarding conversation about many topics. As for the tour itself, Guatavita was spectacular, especially enriched by the stories Rodrigo shared about its history. It was a little more walking and hills than we were aware of, but it was worth the effort. Truly beautiful. The cathedral at zipaquira was also very compelling, and was made much more so by Rodrigo’s very informative narration of the history behind the place and the art and tradition it symbolizes. It exceeded my expectations many times over. Everything taken together, I would 100% recommend this tour with all my heart.

This was a full-day tour. Pickup was seamless; the guide and driver were in text/phone contact with us starting about 30 min before pickup. We started by visiting the Guatavita town, then the lagoon. The guide (Sebastian) was amazing, with a lot of knowledge of history, the ecology of the region, and the myths surrounding the lagoon. He seamlessly went from English to Spanish, so nobody was "left out". We then headed to Zipaquira town and had lunch at an Asador (which had live music!), went on a little shopping detour, and then to the cathedral. The guide and driver stopped as needed (to get water or take pictures) and were overall a joy to travel with. We considered traveling by train on our own, but when we added the cost of train tickets, transportation to the entry points, entrance tickets, and the time to get from one place to another, this was a much better deal. Strongly recommend!

Very good tour, especially the one of the lake where the explanations about the flora and Native American history were interesting. The cathedral is also worth it

This was a wonderful experience while in Colombia. Sebastian was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. We were the only English speakers on our tour so he gave us a personal tour and also allowed the only English speakers from another group to join us. He told us details about each place that we would’ve never known otherwise. When it came to ordering things and talking to the group he translated for us in English as well as spoke to everyone in Spanish. He told jokes and took pictures as well as orchestrated our poses. He did a great job preparing us for the hike at the lagoon as it was briefly steep and we climbed elevations quickly. He treated us like a friend that had come to visit him. The cathedral tour was self guided with audio and he helped us through all of that as well. It was a great day!
