Travel Guide La Sabana De Bogotá

We invite you to a beautiful day of excursion around the capital to discover the charms of Cundinamarca.Let's start with the visit of the village of Chía ("moon" in native language), which boasts a nice pedestrian centre where it is good to sit down on the central square while watching people passing. Cajicá can be the next stop, for his famous sweets (almojábana: strawberry strawberries) and its beautiful textile craft (carpets in particular). Then win Zipaquirá, and do not limit your visit to the salt cathedral: the central place must not be missed. You can dine in one of the many restaurants serving a local dish, the gallina (poule). Then go to Nemocón, whose salt mine is much more intimate; It is very good, but it is also very interesting. This small colonial village deserves a longer visit, the time to linger in cobbled streets and on the small central square to the taste of yesteryear. You can go to the amusement park Jaime Duque (www.parquejaimeduque.com), even if it is worth a full day of walking. You wouldn't know the Taj Mahal local! Children love, and Colombians invade places at weekends. Finally, let us finish this beautiful day in Sopó, famous for his church, which houses seven paintings of angels who miraculously escaped from fire. On the square, the café El Hablador is pleasant. By entering the amusement park, at the entrance to the village, we recommend you stop at La Cabaña, which sells very good strawberry strawberries (famous throughout the region). We finally return to Bogotá… the weekend, traffic jams are at your fingertips!If you are not transported (car hire or service provider), the best is to dedicate a full day to the famous site of Zipaquirá. To get there, then prefer the tourist train (Saturday, Sunday and holidays), a rare opportunity to take the train in Colombia. Anyway, the train is fast filled in Zipaquirá on weekends. In the week you will have to travel by bus or rent a car.
