Travel to Zipaquirá to see the Salt Cathedral, a subterranean church constructed from a salt mine and one of Colombia's most famous Catholic attractions. Return to Bogota for dinner and an overnight stay.
Visit the colonial town of Villa de Leyva, noted for its cobblestone streets and antique churches. Visit local parish churches and Plaza Mayor to experience a quiet, spiritual atmosphere. Overnight stay at Villa de Leyva.
Transfer to the nearest airport (likely El Dorado International Airport, Bogotá) for a trip to Medellín, known as the City of Eternal Spring. Upon arrival, have a city orientation tour and dine at your hotel.
