Took a day trip to Zipaquirá, Colombia, a small city about two hours outside of Bogotá. This city makes money on mining salt from the nearby mountains and is also home to the Salt Cathedral. I´ve been a bit tired of visiting churches, but this one was one of the most interesting that I have seen. It is actually inside of a mountain in the salt mines, .75 km from the mine entrance. It is very eerie on the inside as everything is d
ark except for dark blue purple lights illuminating crosses as you walk into the main chapel. The main chapel is enormous and I was told can hold almost 8000 people. Very amazing that all of this is basically under and inside a mountain.
