Zipaquirá and the salt cathedral

Hola,

From Bogota we decided to make a day trip to a place called "Zipaquirá" where an old salt mine has been converted into a cathedral.  The best part for us was the atmosphere, it was cool but not freezing and the size of the place was staggering.  The religious significance of the 14 stations of the cross was lost on us but the carving was interesting.

From Zipaquirá we continued on to a little place called "Villa de Leiva".
