During Holy Week, Zipaquirá, a municipality located just an hour from Bogotá, becomes a pilgrimage destination for thousands of devotees who seek to spend the holy days in the Salt Cathedral, one of the largest underground temples in the world, considered the first wonder from Colombia.
The Salt Cathedral, built inside a salt mine more than 180 meters deep, becomes the epicenter of the liturgical events of Holy Week. The Stations of the Cross, carved into the salt rock in the shafts of the old mines, guide visitors on a spiritual journey that evokes the last moments of Jesus. The soft lighting and silent atmosphere of the place enhance the sense of reflection and meditation during religious events.
In addition to the celebrations in the Salt Cathedral, the different parishes of Zipaquirá have their own programming during Holy Week with processions, rosaries and sacred music concerts in an atmosphere of deep devotion.
Holy Week in Zipaquirá, with the Salt Cathedral as the protagonist, is an experience that combines spirituality, art and history, offering a space for connection with faith in an incomparable natural setting.
