Bogota
Arrive in Bogotá and settle into your accommodation in the heart of the city. Take some time to relax and acclimatize to the altitude. Depending on your arrival time, you can enjoy a short walk around your neighborhood or savor a Colombian coffee at a nearby café.
Start your day with a scenic cable car ride or funicular to Monserrate for panoramic views over Bogotá. Then, descend into the historical core with a walking tour of La Candelaria, Bogotá’s most iconic neighborhood. Discover colonial architecture, colorful murals, the Botero Museum, and Plaza de Bolívar, all guided by local experts who bring history to life.
Embark on a full-day tour to the enchanting town of Villa de Leyva. Admire its vast main square, stone-paved streets, and whitewashed colonial buildings. Visit local landmarks such as the Fossil Museum or Casa Terracota, and enjoy free time for lunch and exploration in one of Colombia’s most beloved heritage towns.
Today, journey north to Zipaquirá to visit one of Colombia’s most remarkable religious and architectural sites: the Salt Cathedral. Carved 180 meters underground in a working salt mine, this sacred space blends art, engineering, and devotion. After the visit, explore the charming colonial center of Zipaquirá before returning to Bogotá.
After breakfast, enjoy some final moments in Bogotá before your transfer to the airport. Whether you're heading to your next destination or home, you'll carry with you unforgettable memories of Colombia's cultural heart.
