Description

A day that begins 180 metres underground and ends dancing.

In the morning we visit the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, carved inside a mountain of salt and regarded as the first wonder of Colombia. Afterwards there is time for lunch and a wander around the town square.

As evening falls we head to Andrés Carne de Res in Chía. It is hard to explain to anyone who has not been: an enormous restaurant decorated down to the last centimetre, where you eat, have a cocktail and dance for as long as your legs hold out. We have the booking made and we wait for you before heading back.
