Colombia’s Otherworldly Cathedral of Salt

We ventured 2 ½ hours south of Bogota to the Salt Cathedral, the “First Wonder of Colombia.”  The Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá is an underground Roman Catholic Church built within the tunnels of a salt mine 660 feet underground inside a  mountain near the city of Zipaquirá, Colombia. It’s a huge tourist destination and a popular pilgrimage spot.

This massive subterranean cathedral is truly spectacular, with dramatic lighting, sculptures, light shows, Gregorian Chants and choir music, a mining tour, an underground mall, and even a train. Following the Stations of the Cross is a fascinating experience. The eerie combination of otherworldly and touristy is not to be missed!

We paid about $40 for the entry fee, plus the cost for the tour guide who drove us through the mountains.

A #traveltuesday flashback to 30 miles north of Bogotá and the Salt Cathedral, an amazing underground church built in an abandoned salt mine that's one of the craziest and coolest things I've seen. A full sanctuary, side chapels, stations of the cross, statuary and more, all 600 feet underground and lit with constantly changing colorful lights. Originally built to give the miners a place to worship and then expanded and rebuilt to open to the public when the mine closed. When you're in Bogotá, it really is a must visit.

Just a reminder that I'm finishing Linh up my Instagram takeover today for @hemispheresmag sharing images and stories from my Three Perfect Days: Bogotá cover feature. And speaking of Bogotá, I posted images from Nuestra Señora del Carmen last week, a cathedral that's Gaudí meets Seuss. But believe it or not, it's not even the craziest cathedral in Bogotá. Just a 30 mile drive north of Bogotá is the Salt Cathedral, an amazing underground church built in an abandoned salt mine that's one of the most impressive and insane things I've ever seen. A full sanctuary, side chapels, stations of the cross, statuary and more, all 600 feet underground and lit with constantly changing colorful lights. And originally built to give the miners a place to worship and then expanded and rebuilt to open to the public once the mine closed. When you're in Bogotá, it really is a must visit.
