"even a day trip needs some packing" Top 5 Page for this destination Zipaquirá Packing List Tip by richiecdisc

Luggage and bags: If doing Zipaquira en route to Villa de Leyva you would be best served by a backpack if you are going directly to the next town after your tour. Lugging anything else around would be crazy.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable shoes are a must as the mine is pretty large and you'll do a fair amount of walking inside it. Bring a sweater or jacket as it's quite cool in the mine especially compared to outside.

Photo Equipment: A tripod is a must in low light situations like this even if you are not supposed to use them.

Miscellaneous: Thanks to D for doing the "extra" bus trip with me. At least it wasn't like the one the next day which took about 15 hours on mostly winding mountain roads.
