Destinations
Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá is an impressive Cathedral hewn out of a salt mine in Zipaquira. A visit is by guided tour. English, German, French, and Spanish guides are available. The entrance fee is $15,000 or $10,000 that when you buy your ticket on Wednesdays. To get there take the Transmilenio to Portal del Norte, from there take a bus to Zipaquirá and ask the bus driver for directions to the cathedral. The total journey takes at least 4 hours. The current cathedral is the 2nd construction, as the first one was closed after many years.
Laguna del Cachique Guatavita This spiritual lake is where the legend of El Dorado originated. English/Spanish guided tour is available. The entrance fee is $12,000 for foreigners or $8,000 for Colombian. The Muisca Indian King used to have religious ceremony in the middle of the lake, painted all his body with gold dust, and put gold things offered in sacrifice into the lake. To get there take the Transmilenio to Portal del Norte, from there take a bus to Guatavita and ask for another transportation to the lake. This is little bit complicated, but local police can help. The journey will take little more than Zipaquira. It's not open every Monday, or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday.
