Deep down in a salt mine, you can visit what must be one of the most peculiar cathedrals in the world: it is completely carved out of salt.
The bus ride from Bogotá to Zipaquirá was easy and straightforward, and after a walk through the town and up a hill, I arrived at the entrance of the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá. I took off my sunglasses so my eyes could get used to the darkness, and stepped inside. A small group was about to set off with their guide, and I quickly joined them as we walked down, into the interior of the mountain in which the cathedral has been carved out. Contrary to what I expected, we did not directly step into a cathedral. Instead, we walked down the Via Crucis, where the 14 stations of the cross are represented. Each station had a cross carved out in salt, and most of us could not resist to wet a finger and taste the substance. Undoubtedly: salt!
