200 meters underground lies one of Colombia’s greatest wonders: the #SaltCathedral of #Zipaquirá ⛪🧂 A church carved entirely from salt, with the world’s largest underground cross 😱 Faith, art, and geology collide in the most epic way.

💰 A golden king. A sacred lake. A legend that drove centuries of obsession.
#ElDorado wasn’t just a city—it started with a #Muisca ruler diving into #LakeGuatavita covered in gold dust, while his people tossed jewels into the water.
The myth? 🔥 The mystery? Still glimmering. 🇨🇴
