It was very good

We really liked the day! The lagoon and the salt cathedral are very complete, very different. The best part was the guide Sebastián. The activity with him is highly recommended!

Had a great trip with...

Had a great trip with Sebastian as the tour guide. He was funny and did a great job explaining everything. I did the tour on my first full day in Colombia, so I was a little tired, but the drive time between the stops was perfect for rest breaks.

Give yourselves the opportunity to do it.

The experience was fun, informative and the sites were so breathtaking. The journey to the lagoon was so beautiful and rewarding and the Salt cathedral is really the first wonder of colombia. Every detail was well thought of, even our lunch spot was excellent. Carlos and Jesus were excellent, we had the best time.
