Day trips from Bogotá

Explore the surroundings of Bogotá to immerse yourself in its cultural and natural richness

Just a few kilometers from the capital, you'll find iconic destinations like the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, a majestic underground masterpiece recognized as Colombia's First Wonder. Another notable site near Bogotá is the Guatavita Lake, the cradle of the legendary El Dorado story, where visitors can enjoy breathtaking landscapes and learn more about the indigenous traditions of the region.

For nature lovers, parks like La Reserva and La Chorrera are must-see stops. La Chorrera Park is home to Colombia's tallest waterfall, offering ecological trails and activities such as birdwatching. Additionally, charming towns like Villa de Leyva allow tourists to step back in time as they stroll along cobblestone streets and admire well-preserved colonial architecture. These day trips, featuring private transportation and expert guides, provide an in-depth view of the diversity and beauty that surround Bogotá.

Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral tour

In Colombia, there are thousands of cathedrals, churches, and chapels spread throughout the country, but there is only one located 180 meters (590 feet) below the surface: the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, recognized as Colombia's First Wonder. If your stay in the capital is limited, our travel agency highly recommends putting this destination at the top of your list.

Jessy

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
