Three wonderful towns with distinct identities

Ravneesh_S, Sep 2024

My wife and I traveled with Joel - a wonderful and very funny guide with an amazing amount of knowledge of not just the history of the towns surrounding Bogotá but also their people’s place in the past, present and possible future and their relationships with the country as a whole. We visited three beautiful towns with very distinct identities - Zipaquirá (known for their mining and cultivation of salt, which also resulted in the building of the magnificent Catedrál del Sal), Tabio (known for intricate stone masonry, which is representative all over the town from the roads to the buildings) and Cajicá (known for a vibrant downtown and eclectic cafes). Thank you again, Joel, for a beautiful introduction to some of your country’s small towns - we wish you the best in your anthropological endeavors!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Ravneesh_S Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable for us. We are very happy to know that Joel did an excellent job being an ambassador of our beautiful country and city. It is exciting for us to know that our clients give us the opportunity to show them the best of Bogota with its history and culture. We hope you come back soon to our city, thank you for recommending us! We send you our best wishes!
