Learn the ways of religion in Colombia
Catholicism is embedded in Colombia's history, it is manifested by its people, in their customs, literature, art and most spectacularly in its architecture. Did you know that Bogotá is one of the few cities in the world that has two Principal Churches, one of which is a replica of the Lourdes Basilica in France?
Among the millions of people that have inhabited the country of Colombia throughout its history there is one element that, for the most part, has united the people. Beyond politics, the economic situation and even soccer (football), the Catholic religion is the base for Colombian’s sense of self.
In our tour you will be able to see the most important cathedrals, churches and chapels where people have gathered to express their faith for hundreds of years, like the Lord of Monserrate Sanctuary, the First Cathedral, the el Cármen church, or Saint Francis Church where the first mass in the country was celebrated.
On this tour, enjoy the company of a professional bilingual tour guide who is an expert in the subject and that will adjust the visits to your interests and needs, also enjoy the comfort of a private transport that is available to you at all times. Discover, not only inside the churches but in the surrounding areas, the traditions that are kept until today and that inspire many holy pilgrimages all year long.
This tour focuses mainly in Bogotá, however, an hour away from the city is the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, the First Wonder of Colombia, a religious monument and engineering marvel like no other, deep under the earth, taking advantage of the former mine’s tunnels.
