Salt Cathedral

Last week we visited the amazing underground Salt Cathedral just outside Bogota, painstakingly created by hand inside an old salt mine. The caverns, of which there are many, are carved out of 100% rock salt, and we even had a go at mining it ourselves using heavy pick axes. It was really hard work and we only managed a few minutes. The miners created the cathedral and Stations of The Cross by staying late in their own time. It is considered Colombia's very own Wonder of the World.
