Yesterday we were invited to go to the Caterdral de Sal in Zipaquira, about an hour north, by David who is our unofficial interpreter and general fixer. He is the son of Lucia who is our official liason here in Bogota. David is a very nice young guy who is fluent in English as well as French and has been very helpful during our stay with all sorts of things.
The Salt Cathedral is one of the more interesting places I've ever seen. It is basicaly a 1.5 km mine shaft that spirals through a mountain and has about ten large caverns that have been carved out in the salt/rock. Each cavern has a sort of chapel carved into it, culminating in the last one which is the size of a large European cathedral. It is really quite impressive.hea Catedral de Sal
