Bogota and the salt cathedral

Salt Cathedral

The salt cathedral

This impressive building is located 47 kms from Bogota in another town called Zipaquira. It has been built inside a salt mine currently still under activity. Thus, the cathedral is below 180 meters of earth.

An incredible lighting effect made the rooms very beautiful.

A really big city, where we needed always more than one hour with the bus for going in or out. The city itself was not so beautiful but a few days were enough to enjoy it.

I also met an old friend from my last exchange in Stockholm. She is doing a volunteer in a town close to Bogota, Zipaquira. Yes, the same as the one where the cathedral is. But, I learned it only after when we met in Bogota.
