Full description In this journey you will visit with us the Nemocón Salt Mine, we will pick you up at your hotel or place of accommodation and we will leave for the municipality of Nemocón, the journey can last approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

During this journey, we have the opportunity to observe different places such as the northern highway in the city of Bogotá, passing by the Marroquín Castle and the town of Chía.

Descend into an underground wonderland where 196 feet (60 m) occur below the earth's surface. A private guide accompanies you to the Nemocón salt mines during a half-day educational tour to discover the history of the mines and their impressive brine mirrors.

After arriving in Nemocón, we will make our way into the mines with a private guide who will be happy to share the history of the extraction process. Inside the mine, glimpses of stalactites and stalagmites from another world are complemented by colorful atmospheric lighting. Be amazed as you head into a region where brine deposits have created a natural network of reflective mirrors. A place that captivates for its authenticity is the Nemocón Salt Mine, which it reaches in 30 minutes from Zipaquirá.

There, 80 m underground, travelers search 1,600 m of tunnels through which between 1816 and 1968 approximately eight million tons of salt were extracted. The 28 brine mirrors, in which the salt rocks dissolve, produce an impressive optical effect.

In the chamber of the Chapel there is a huge 1,300 kilogram stone sphere that symbolizes the world. Another attraction of great importance is the 1,600 kilogram salt crystal, cut in the shape of a heart in the 1960s by the miner Miguel Sánchez. Stalactites and stalagmites are seen along the way and there is even an ecological trail, an auditorium and a geology room.

You will know the curiosities about the Nemocón salt mines and you will discover the salt extraction industry dating back to 400 BC in this region of the world. You will see the filming location of the movie "Los 33", which details the collapse in 2010 of a copper and gold mine in Chile, starring Antonio Banderas, later than you will enjoy a delicious lunch in Nemocón before your unforgettable excursion has taken place.
