Zipaquira is located in north-central Colombia, about 46 kilometres northeast of Bogota. While the main attraction of this city is the underground Catedral de Sal (Salt Cathedral) - built in the old Salt Mine building complex just outside of town - Zipaquira offers visitors some other interesting cultural attractions in addition to this magnificent subterranean temple, which is best explored via guided tour. Be sure to check out the pedestrian-friendly Gonzales Forero Square (in the old city centre), which is flanked by colonial-style national monuments like the City Hall and the beautiful Catedral Diocesana (which was constructed between 1760 and 1870).
