Walking tour of Zipaquira

From the cultural centre, we walked to the impressive main square of Zipaquira, passing original Spanish Colonial architecture on the way.  The square is surrounded on all sides by attractive buildings, mainly Spanish, but there are two very clear examples of French colonial style.  The whole city is a tourist destination both for Colombians and foreigners.  Steven told us that it is also a popular retirement place for people who have worked all their lives in Bogota.  They are attracted by the quiet and the relaxed pace of life.

We had some spare time in the square before we headed up to the Salt Cathedral.Læs mere
