Zipaquirá is a small town about 45 mins outside of Bogotá. It's very colonial, and it boasts a very odd tourist attraction...an underground cathedral in an old salt mine. It was carved out so the miners had somewhere to worship.
It was much bigger than I expected. I thought it was one room, but it was many alcoves with crosses carved out of stone. What made the place really worth seeing was the spectacular and eerie lighting in blues and purples that gave everything an otherworldly glow.
