    • Zipaquirá is a town with a population of 70 000, situated about 50 km north of Bogotá. Zipaquirá is known for its salt mines and the Salt Cathedral, which attracts many visitor every day. By making tunnels in to the hills west of Zipaquirá the salt has been mined here already since the Muisca period.
    If you came to Zipaquirá to visit the Salt Cathedral it is also worth taking a walk in the town. Around the central square there are some colonial buildings and the church looks very nice. There is also an archaeological museum in the town.

     Great virtual tour of Bogotá. The fresh fruit dish looks like a great way to start the day!    		jumpingnorman Sun Feb 8, 2009 02:17 UTC
     The Gold Museum was being renovated when I visited Bogota .... you're lucky you've been there twice in this underrated city! Very nice Bogota tips! Norman :)

     Malena, great new tips on Bogotá, especially the fantastic views from Monserrate! I like the way you travel around the different countries you visit - getting up close and personal with the locals just the way they have to do it too!    		deecat Fri Dec 12, 2008 17:16 UTC
     A most enjoyable VICARIOUS trip about Bogota. I especially found your tips about Calpatria Tower, Gold Museum, Church of Santa Clara, STATUES ON THE ROOFS, Cable car and car-free Sundays most impressive.
