At the designated time, we will head to Monserrate Hill, where we will take the funicular or cable car to the top to enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the city. Next, we will continue our visit to the Gold Museum, which houses the world's most extensive collection of pre-Hispanic goldwork.

Notes:

On Mondays, the Gold Museum is closed and will be replaced by the Botero Museum.
On Sundays and holidays, there is an increase in national visitors, so it is recommended to purchase the Fast Pass supplement for ascending Monserrate (payment at the destination in Colombian pesos).

At the designated time, from the meeting point, we will depart for Zipaquirá, located 49 km north of Bogotá, to visit the iconic Salt Cathedral. During the journey, we will enjoy panoramic views of the Bogotá Savannah. The Salt Cathedral is recognized as one of Colombia's most notable architectural and artistic achievements. Built inside a mine at a depth of 180 meters, its interior features a Stations of the Cross, a Dome, a Choir, and the Narthex Complex. Its heritage, cultural, and religious value is immeasurable. Additionally, it is considered Colombia’s first tourist wonder and was a candidate for one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. After the visit, we will return to Bogotá.

At the scheduled time, we will begin our journey to the iconic Comuna 13, an area that, after once being one of the most notorious centers of violence in the world, has been reborn as a model of resilience and social transformation through art and innovation. Once in Comuna 13, a local guide will lead you through its main streets, where you can admire vibrant graffiti, ride the modern outdoor escalators, and enjoy a local snack.

The tour continues through Medellín’s most emblematic sites, a city also known as the “City of Eternal Spring.” Visit Pueblito Paisa, a charming replica of a traditional Antioquian town, and the Barefoot Park (Parque de los Pies Descalzos), an ideal place to relax outdoors. Connect with the city’s administrative center at La Alpujarra and finish at Parque Berrío, home to the iconic Sculpture Plaza by Master Fernando Botero, an unmistakable symbol of Medellín. Return to the hotel.
