Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Close to the city center, this small square is an ode to the independence of Colombia, and there you can find the flags of the different nations which constituted the first independence. A statue of Antonio Nariño sits in this square reading, perhaps the Universal Declaration of Human Rights since he was the translator. Without forgetting some characteristic roofs of the region as well as a pretty historical fresco

The independiente square, has many restaurants and coffee shops. The flags are standing in rememberance of so much history but still the atmosphere is busier than the Plaza de los Comuneros. Enjoy!

An unassuming plaza flanked by numerous restaurants and cafes where you can just sit and grab a drink and a bit to eat and enjoy the plaza and relax in this great pueblo of Zipaquira.

Nice plaza with local restaurants. I did not see any souvenir shops near the area. It is a nice place to take pictures and see the mountains.

We visited the Plaza of Zipaquira after our walk thru the salt mine Cathedral.
The Town buildings and the Town Church combine different styles of architecture.
Lots of vehicle congestion and hardley any parking.

We visited the town of Zipaquira after the tour of the salt mine. It was a nice town with a beautiful square with mountains at the background, lovely buildings and a cathedral with a different style. You should go inside the cathedral to see its special beauty. There are cafes around as well.

Went to Zipaquira for a day trip as our taxi driver was giving us a ride back from the Armadillo restaurant and suggested it would be a great trip. about 28 km north, another 1 million people live there! I know everyone goes there for the mine, but I was pretty awestruck by the history - five countries that used to be as one liberated by the historical figure Simon Bolivar.
Wish I could have come during the week with the flags flying, but on the weekend, it appears they take down the flags.

Not as nice a square as the Cathedral one, but it has the better restaurants. Lots of bars and noise in the evenings and a gathering place for the younger crowd. Many shops and a bit of a commercial centre at the centre of a network of small roads with great butchers and panaderia and electronic and hardware stores.

All visitors to Zipaquira, should not miss the opportunity of visiting this landmark, where the flags of the five countries liberated by Simon Bolivar are on permanent display. Also, some of the best Colombian food restaurants are on this square.

It's a nice place to take pictures and feel the atmosphere of Zipaquira place. It is a large square and features a soft wind. The buildings around are old and downs. So much light hits it. You can start a quiet walk through the village tour.
