Let's keep walking ..

... down the tunnel that leads to the Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira ...

... passing deposits of salt on the walls ....



Not sure what these are for ... these large dome shapes which reflect blue light ... I think hubby said that that is what they are for .. to reflect light ... but I could be wrong

Still quite a way to go ... the cross at the end is HUGE ... there is Mr T in the red T-shirt ...



Statues are built from salt pillars ...

A chamber dedicated to the miners who lost their lives ...

One of several smaller chambers leading off the main tunnel ...


.. looking back into the tunnels ....


Tomorrow ... we will be in the main Cathedral ....

  2. Reminds me of the salt mines outside Krakow. I really must get myself organised and share some of our trips!
