About this activity

We invite you on a journey that transcends tourism to connect with our origins. Experience an authentic adventure that blends archaeology, colonial legends, and the passion of cycling. This is not just a visit; it's a journey through the history of the Muisca, the ancient guardians of "White Gold (salt)," whose wisdom still whispers among the mountain's tunnels. From modern Bogotá, we chart a route to the source: we honor the resilience of our cyclists, like Egan Bernal, with coffee and snacks in hand, and descend 180 meters underground to reveal the mysticism of the Salt Cathedral. It's not just about religion; it's a journey through an engineering marvel where faith and rock merge into a Colombian wonder.

Unlike traditional tours, we take you on a journey to immerse yourself in history. The journey culminates in the colonial heart of Zipaquirá, strolling through its Main Square and celebrating the diversity of our countryside with regional cuisine paired with Andean music.
