Could some1 please tell me why u would want to visit the salt mine cathedral in Bogota, Colombia?

The cathedral at zipaquira is actually the 2nd. The first, IMHO was way cooler. You could drive into the entrance and the statues and altar (all ripped off to the new one) Were awesome. You could find Halite Crystals for sale (Clear salt) and lots of souvenirs. Today, you enter in a big ugly tunnel and p 10 very dark stations of the cross. All the cool stuff except for the big cross that is set in relief behind the altar were all robbed from the Original. Also, the taxi price -in the book they all have in the glove box is 75K pesos RT. THey will want to charge you 150 but haggle. They need the work.
