| 16 | Catedral de Sal | This church is the most holy place in the heart of Colombia. It is the crystallization of hundreds of years of hard work of generations. It has all kinds of facilities, from shops, prayer rooms, and toilets to spas and cinemas. However, from the perspective of the beauty of the landscape, some people may think that it is not brilliant, but considering the hard work and historical precipitation, these landscapes are particularly precious. In the beginning, the entrance of the church was a cross scenic area, which was slightly tasteless. When I walked to the main hall of the church, I was immediately conquered by its magnificent momentum. I hope you can go to see the film introducing the history of the salt church. Only when you see it will you cherish the grandeur of the whole project. Sipakila is a small Andes town located more than 50 kilometers north of Bogota city. What makes this South American Andean plateau town famous in the world is not the beautiful scenery, the beautiful mountains, and the Madalena river that quietly surrounds the town, but a huge underground world – a magnificent underground church that can accommodate 8000 believers at the same time. The predecessor of this church is the altars set up underground by the salt miners of the Indian aborigines under colonial rule. These altars are the witness to the 400-year colonial history of the small town of siparaki At the entrance of the salt church, there is a dummy model in a miner’s suit. Then we entered a long passage. The wall of the passage was decorated with changeable color lights and dim energy-saving lamps. Walk inward and pass several altars. The altars of the underground salt church are all simple cross shapes, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere with colored lights. Behind those holy crosses, many of them have a huge dark underground space. When you look down on the side of the guardrail, you can see a shocking scene! The size, height, and width of those spaces can be compared with the vault space of a huge cathedral. However, they were submerged in the darkness! The depth and breadth of the space and the sense of fear brought by the darkness can only be felt when you are in the scene. |
| 17 | Museo de Oro | The last Sunday of each month is free. When the lucky star came, I got free museum tickets. It was indeed a worthwhile trip, especially after the explanation by the local people, I had an intuitive understanding of the various ethnic groups in Colombia. Great experience. The gold museum is one of the must-sees in Bogota. To be honest, I can hardly remember anything after reading it. I only know that the golden eyes of the blind dog also witness the glory of the indigenous people in those years. The ticket seems to be 4000 pesos, located near the Bolivian square. It’s free on Sunday. There were a lot of people when I went there. On the whole, I felt good. I introduced the bronze age, gold, and Indian history. At last, there was a small room full of gold, in which a valuable emerald was placed. It was the climax of the visit. However, there was a queue to visit this small room, and only a dozen people could enter it at a time. |
