Imagine and entire 'city' underground! It was truly spectacular...the years of labour and skill that went into making this cathedral and space is beyond comprehension. You must also try the mine...

This salt cathedral is the most amazing spot so far in my Colombia travel. The tunnels and cross are just amazing. We are lucky to see a lightning show and a wedding ceremony. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone visiting Colombia. They did change different prices for the local people and foreigners.

This is the third time that I've been here but the first time in about 15 years and it sure has changed a lot. It's more commercial or touristy now, for lack of better terms. They practically have a shopping mall down there, which wasn't in the mine before. I probably shouldn't complain since I bought stuff in there, LoL. The "mine" part of it is still good and worth the trip though.
