Very good unique. Cathedral is in the underground portion of the salt mine. Fairly dark down there. Well organized and felt comfortable to walk. They have several stations. Unique. Good to visit...

This place is amazing! Definitely take a bottle of water because you will be walking a lot. There are a couple of cafeterias and a spa. You can buy a lot of salt souvenirs there and they accept credit cards. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. I really recommend the tour where they take you mining salt, for me it was the best part of the trip.

Amazing Place! I never thought it would be such an amazing and unique place! The destination name is totally wrong, it doesn't describe what it really is! Salt Cathedral makes me think of just another church make out of salt or such, but boy i was wrong! It is an underground Salt mines development that is as huge as a city! it is not just a simple cathedral, it is an HUGE underground development!!! This is a MUST visit in Colombia! it is like visiting the Pyramids in Egypt! It is that magnitude but all underground at around 180 meters below surface, so it is mind blowing! and pictures cannot describe it!
