Bogota-Zipaquira

Monday 4.30 am, arriving at Bogota, the capital of Colombia, a huge city, a more dangerous place. At this time I did not want to look around for the hostal, so I decided to stay another two hours in the terminal, and there also already book my bus ticket to Santa Marta.

Around 7 I checked in at the hostal Sue, two locations, one of the best hostals around in Bogota. Taking a hot shower and orienting about what to do. At that moment two people came in, one of them was also dutch (Linda) and had the same schedule in Bogota as I did, solely two days. So we just made plans together. The first day walking around, exploring, museums, etc. The second day, Zipaquira, the salt cathedral.


In Bogota we had a great time, eventhough it rained, ending the day with making something for dinner together. The next day would be a long day. Zipaquira and next a long bus trip to Santa Marta.


Zipaquira is one of the main tourist attractions, all made out of salt, amazing to walk through this mine which is made into a Cathedral. An interesting day an surely worth the visit.
