    Flashback Friday: Colombia

    March 8, 2013 by Kat & Kyle Leave a Comment

    A few people we know are currently traveling in Colombia, which means we’ve been reminiscing about our time there while giving them advice on where to go and what to do. In honor of that, here are 5 moments from our time in Colombia.

    Spire in BogotaOne of the spires of Catedral de Bogota greets you as you walk down Calle 11 towards the Plaza de Bolivar. Plaza de Bolivar is the center of Colombian government, and a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists.

    Catedral de SalThe main chapel at Catedral de Sal in Zipaguira. Starting out as a small chapel dedicated to the miners of this salt mine, the church grew to become a huge cathedral underneath the mountain, with many chapels, naves, and stations of the cross carved out of the salt and beautifully lit in the darkness.

    Colombia remains one of our favorite countries and we look forward to returning to spend more time there.
