Ancient salt mine is one of Colombia's most popular tourist attractions
In Colombia, the history of salt is a history of power.
The control of salt production was a major source of political power for indigenous administrations to the Spanish conquistadors, and finally to the new state after achieving independence from Spain in 1819.
Today, the salt mines are Colombia?s most popular tourist attractions.
This photo gallery shows images from the 80-meter deep Nemocon salt mine, the second largest salt mine in the country.
