Discover the paths of religion in Colombia
Catholicism has profoundly influenced Colombia's history and is reflected in the customs, literature, art, and especially the architecture of its people. Did you know that Bogotá is one of the few cities in the world with two main churches, one of which is a replica of the Basilica of Lourdes in France?
Among the nearly 50 million people living in Colombia, there has historically been one unifying element beyond politics, economics, or even football: Catholicism forms the foundation of Colombian identity.
On our tour, you will explore the most important churches, chapels, and cathedrals where believers have gathered for centuries, such as the Sanctuary of the Lord of Monserrate, the Primatial Cathedral of Bogotá, the Church of El Carmen, and the Church of San Francisco, where the first mass in the country's history was held.
You will be guided by a professional who will tailor the experience to your needs and preferences while providing the comfort of private transportation from your hotel. Discover not only the churches but also the surrounding areas, where you can see mestizo traditions that are still preserved today and have led to the grand and sacred religious pilgrimages celebrated throughout the year.
Our tour mainly focuses on Bogotá, but just an hour from the city lies the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, the first wonder of Colombia—a unique religious monument carved underground in ancient salt mine tunnels.

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.
