Jhovanny was our super guide! From the moment we stepped in the van, he began explaining the history and geography of the mines, the cathedral, and the surroundings. He tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we were always comfortable and safe. Five star day!!!

A Religious Experience
Published on Mar, 2024
The Salt Cathedral is a true religious experience, much like Machu Picchu. It is 850' below the surface. One doesn't think of this while walking because of the carvings and Stations of the Cross. The most spectacular part of the visit was Christ speaking on one side of the wall, his words projected on the opposite side and the cross illuminated in the center. It is shown only during Easter week. It's hard to imagine that this could be carved out of the salt mountain.
