Known as the first wonder of Colombia, it is entirely carved in salt and is unique in the country.

The Salt Cathedral —located 180 meters underground— will give you an out-of-the-ordinary experience. It was initially a mine where the workers created a small chapel; however, they never imagined that it would become a must-see attraction for visitors. 

Each step in the cathedral will surprise you, from the Way of the Cross to the Choir and a balcony from where you can appreciate the tallest underground cross in the world, which measures 16 meters high and 10 meters wide.
