Salt Cathedral in Bogota

The Salt Cathedral (Catedral de Sal in Spanish) is an underground cathedral in an old salt mine near Bogota.

Located 25 miles outside of Bogota in the town of Zipaquira, the Salt Cathedral is a must see on any visit to Bogota, religious or otherwise. Getting from Bogota to the Salt Cathedral is easy and can be done by several different modes of transport.

With 14 stations of the cross and a gorgeous altar, the space is breathtaking. Guided tours are available at the Salt Cathedral in Bogota, and are the only way to see the cathedral. They leave consistently throughout the day, so there’s no need to book ahead.

The Salt Cathedral offers a small cafe and gift shop inside, and has activities like a climbing wall outdoors. Leave yourself at least two hours to see the whole cathedral.
