Discover “The Salt Route – Earth, Salt & Fire”
This luxury journey has a clear purpose: to reveal the contemporary essence of Colombia beyond the traditional tourist circuit. Through underground galleries carved in salt, spiritual architecture, signature cuisine, and distilled spirits inspired by Latin American biodiversity, you connect directly with the guardians of the high plateau’s heritage.
The experience begins with your personalized hotel pickup and transfer in a premium private vehicle toward the Cundiboyacense highlands. As Bogotá fades between mountains and Andean savannas, you enjoy carefully selected amenities along the route, beginning the journey in comfort, tranquility, and sophistication. Upon arriving in Zipaquirá, you descend more than 180 meters underground to discover the impressive Salt Cathedral. You privately and contemplatively explore the Stations of the Cross and the majestic chambers carved into salt rock, concluding with a pause to enjoy a hot or cold beverage accompanied by a gourmet pairing.
Upon returning to the surface, you take a peaceful walk through the historic center of Zipaquirá, appreciating its architectural and colonial heritage. At lunchtime, you are delighted by a signature culinary proposal that pays tribute to traditional flavors and local ingredients, offering a refined gastronomic experience in a relaxed setting.
You immerse yourself in an exclusive tasting experience of distilled spirits and contemporary cocktails. Guided by an expert, you explore unique combinations and native ingredients that celebrate Colombia’s botanical richness, intimately connecting with the concept of fire and the evolution of local flavors.
The afternoon invites you to return to Bogotá. To conclude this journey with the same sophistication with which it began, you enjoy the warm ambiance of the venue before boarding your premium private vehicle. You return to your hotel with an intimate, renewed, and deeply sensory perspective on the country’s contemporary identity.

Travel recommendations
✔︎ Weather & Clothing: The weather in the highlands can change quickly, and the temperature inside the underground salt mine galleries tends to be noticeably cool. We recommend dressing in layers and always keeping a light jacket or comfortable coat with you.
✔︎ Comfortable Footwear: You will walk through the interior of the Salt Cathedral and along the historic colonial streets of Zipaquirá. Wearing closed-toe, flat, comfortable shoes with good grip is essential to fully enjoy the experience safely.
