⛏️ Underground Miracle | Enter the Salt Cathedral 190 meters deep in Colombia

#7月發文留言活动2025 When you think there is nothing in the world that can shock you, the Salt Cathedral (Catedral de Sal) in Colombia will let you redefine "sacred" and "magnificent". This architectural wonder is located in the small town of Zipaquirá, about 50 kilometers north of Bogotá. The entire church is hidden nearly 200 meters underground. It was originally a salt mine pit, but now it has transformed into a national treasure-level holy place that combines faith and engineering skills. Although the ticket is not cheap (about 110,000 pesos per person), and the one-way bus costs about 100,000-150,000 COP, it is guaranteed to make your trip worthwhile. 🎧 Chinese audio guide is super considerate! After entering, you can get a Chinese audio guide. There are a total of 22 guide points, and the audio synchronization introduction makes the entire tour route effortless. Walking into the salt mine passage is like embarking on a mysterious religious pilgrimage. The journey starts from the "Stay of the Cross" symbolizing the suffering of Jesus. Every space and every carving is closely related to the story in the Bible. 🕯️ The interweaving of miners' art and faith It is not only a mine, but also a manifestation of faith. The carvings and space designs along the way are completely created by the miners themselves. Combined with the lighting effects, there are surprises at every corner. The solemn atmosphere created by light and shadow makes people feel as if they are in a sacred ceremony. ⛪ The end is the peak: the underground triple temple Walking to the deepest part, you will come to three main church halls. The most breathtaking is the "Hall of Life" in the middle. The world's largest underground cross stands in the center. Under the changing lights, it seems to be integrated with the rock wall, quiet and sacred, which makes people awe-inspiring. These spaces are not only buildings, but also a condensation of faith and history, and also show the wisdom and tenacity of Colombian miners. 🎠 Ending Easter egg: Black Mirror Pool and Free Train Don't leave in a hurry. There is a dreamlike "Black Mirror Pool" near the exit. The calm mirror-like water reflects the mine cave and lights, which is so beautiful that it seems unreal. There is also a small sculpture exhibition hall that can be visited for free. The works are delicate and worth appreciating. 🚂 It is recommended to take the free train at the exit to leave (otherwise it will be more tiring to climb back to the starting point). If you have time, you can also spend an hour and a half to visit the local town, which is interesting. 🚖 Tips The return traffic is slightly inconvenient. It is recommended to make an appointment with a taxi platform in advance or share a ride with others It is recommended to reserve more than half a day for the visit and don't rush the itinerary The air in the mine cave is cool but not cold, so you can wear a light jacket ✅ Summary and recommendation This is not just a church, but a journey into the soul. Every step carries the weight of history and faith. It is a world-class attraction that you must not miss when you come to Colombia. If you only choose one architectural attraction to visit, it must be this one.
