The experience

The day starts with hotel pickup in Bogotá and a 35-minute drive north to Jaime Duque Park in Tocancipá. The park spreads across multiple zones with historical, architectural, technological and environmental settings designed to appeal to all ages. A live guide leads you through the largest theme park in Colombia, pointing out the educational and cultural details woven into each section. The park's layout means you move through different themed areas rather than riding a single attraction. It's a walking tour with plenty to see and learn.

After Jaime Duque, the tour continues to Zipaquirá and the Salt Cathedral, the First Wonder of Colombia. The cathedral is carved into a salt mine and stands as one of the country's most significant architectural achievements. You'll tour the main squares of the colonial city before descending into the cathedral itself, where the scale and craftsmanship become clear. The route between the two sites takes you through the Andean landscape north of Bogotá, so the journey itself is part of the day.

Private transportation means your group travels together in an air-conditioned vehicle, and lunch is included partway through the day. The tour runs 8 to 10 hours total, so you'll return to your hotel in the late afternoon. A guide fluent in English or Spanish travels with you the entire time, answering questions about what you're seeing and the history of each site.
