bus, motorcycle, car or train.

motorcycle.

Activities to do
One of the places that you should know in this excellent place is the water

mirror, previously a brine (place for the saturation of salt), those surroundings

are illuminated to reflect in the static water and give a fascinating optical

effect that gives the impression to be swimming in an underground void. The

mine has bilingual and multilingual guides for foreign tourists.

Later, a set of lights reveals the carved rock and the tunnels that house stations

of the cross. At the end there is access to three naves: the one for birth and

baptism, the one for life and death, and the one for resurrection, each with an

altar.

The exploitation of this mine has a history that goes back to pre-Columbian

times, through colonial and republican times to continue making history today.

It was the ancient Muisca Indians who first benefited from this enormous salt

deposit and became one of the most prosperous pre-Hispanic societies of their

time.
