Heading South

Before heading south, we went to a small city called Zipaquira, just north of Bogota. We visited a church here that is in a salt mine. The church was huge and dim. It was unique in that the floors, roof and walls are all salt. It also had the largest cross in the world that is located within a church.

Now we are south of Bogota, in a town called Plata. Yesterday we went to a hot springs that was very remote and natural. Our cab driver had to take a few runs at some of the hills to climb the loose gravel. The drive and the walk were ideal. It reminded me of going to Lussier hot springs but much less people. It really felt special to be in a place so seldom visited. It´s possible that I was the first foreigner.

Next we will be going to San Augastin and Popayan.
